QUEEN IS KING when it comes to air-tight mysteries that combine in his
inimitable and cunning way those elements of ingenuity, surprise, and
original setting that make possible deductive solutions that are always
fair to the reader and strictly in accordance with the science of
streamlined murder. This, the fourteenth Queen to be introduced to
America's largest book-buying public, presents a blonde and exotic
actress, Winni Moon, and her scented chimpanzee; a murder which
became a managing editor's dream; Pink, an athlete from Flatbush,
Brooklyn; Solly Spaeth, an unethical financier from New York. And
Queen is literally King in The Devil to Pay, when he masquerades
as Hilary "Scoop" King.
