“Cops investigating cops? That’s a trip for biscuits,” E.B. says at one point.
Which leads me to my final point about this episode: E.B. Jonathan’s way with words. Aging, he tells Perry at one point, is a matter of finding “a nose hair half the length of your arm, half your friends in the cemetery and a million strangers on the street.” Truth, he says, “won’t move wind chimes.” George Gannon’s faked suicide note? “Donkey dust.”
I reviewed the fourth episode of Perry Mason for the New York Times.
