The Adventures of Ellery Queen

ELLERY QUEEN has been called "the logical successor to Sherlock Holmes." Here are eleven mystery stories which show why. They involve, among other things, a murdered man who took time out from dying to paint a beard on a lady's portrait; a woman who couldn't stop buying black cats; and a body which wouldn't stay put at an Alice-in-Wonderland party. All in all, this volume provides a wonderful selection of the best tales of suspense and murder by the great master, Ellery Queen.
