Randolph Mason, Gamemaster of the Law:

Melville Davisson Post created several fascinating characters in the field of crime and mystery (including detective Uncle Abner). In stark contrast to his detectives, was Randolph Mason, an amoral lawyer who viewed his clients as pawns in his games to cheat Fate & Destiny (and often punishment by the courts).

All three of Mason's short story collections are included here: The Strange Schemes of Randolph Mason, The Man of Last Resort, and The Corrector of Destinies.
