In the merry month of May, Ellery Queen made a trek to Gettysburg to witness an annual celebration - and an annual murder. February found the ingenious Ellery locked in a furious battle of wits with a dead US president. These are but two of the 12 appointments with crime that make up Queen's baffling calendar of conundrums. Each elegant enigma ticks off all the surprise and excitement that have made Queen the dean of American detective fiction.

Story5 out of 5 stars 5
How could a man have been murdered when he was found alone in his study, a gun in his hand, and the door locked from the inside? It had to be suicide, the police figured. Although there was no suicide note, there was a letter proving conclusively that Roland Nelson, over the last several months, was being blackmailed. But to his daughter, Ann, whom he had seen only spasmodically since he had left her mother when Ann was a baby, there were unanswered questions.

Despite the dismal Broadway season, Gunplay continues to draw crowds. A gangland spectacle, it's packed to the gills with action, explosions, and gunfire. In fact, Gunplay is so loud that no one notices the killing of Monte Field. In a sold-out theater, Field is found dead partway through the second act, surrounded by empty seats. The police hold the crowd and call for the one man who can untangle this daring murder: Inspector Richard Queen.

Some men retire on a hundred grand...or buy their wives mink coats with days of the week sewn in the lining...or fly to Rio for a good cup of coffee - but not Jim Morgan. Jim had a hundred thousand all right - neatly packed in stacks of 50s - only someone had made an expensive mistake. A mistake that put him on the run for his money - as well as his life.

It's 1943, the war is raging, and sleuthing scribe Ellery Queen wants to do his bit. After a tortuous cross-country drive, he takes a job writing scripts for a Hollywood propaganda house - twelve hours a day of hack work that quickly turns his mind to jelly. After a few weeks, he is so worn down that he can type nothing but gibberish, and he decides to drive home. The trouble starts as soon as he reaches the desert.

You are invited to a murder. That was how the invitations should have read when aged millionaire Hendrik Brass sent out his messages to six oddly assorted men and women who knew neither him nor each other. All arrived at the isolated Brass mansion, lured by the tantalizing promise of fabulous wealth. But from the moment the shining brass doors of the grotesquely constructed house swung shut behind them, they began to realize they had been enticed into playing parts in a monstrous joke - the joke of a twisted, brilliant mind…

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 58
This insightful look at the life of Henry V and the Battle of Agincourt casts new light on a period in history often held up as legend. A great English hero, Henry V was lionized by Shakespeare and revered by his countrymen for his religious commitment, his sense of justice, and his military victories. Here, noted historian and biographer Ian Mortimer takes a look at the man behind the legend and offers a clear, historically accurate, and realistic representation of a ruler who was all too human.

Publisher's Summary
Ellery Queen and Sherlock Holmes match wits to reveal the identity of history's most infamous killer.
Ellery Queen and Sherlock Holmes are the undisputed masters of analytical deduction - their talents and methods strikingly, almost uncannily, alike. Through the strange interlocking of events past and present, the two celebrated detectives meet to focus their razor-sharp intellects - and their brilliant powers of observation - on the mystery of…Jack the Ripper.
History's most depraved murderer, Jack the Ripper found victims who were the whores of Whitechapel. Lurking in narrow, fog-shrouded alleys, he crept forth night after night to murder - and mutilate. Eluding Scotland Yard'smost heroic efforts to track him down, the Ripper continued to satisfy his unnatural appetites, unrestrained - and unidentified! Can Queen and Holmes unmask the notorious killer?
Uniquely imaginative, A Study in Terror is a masterpiece of mystery and suspense.

Interesting take on the story
Ellery Queen is working on his latest book and fighting a deadline when a friend brings him a manuscript, a lost memoir by Dr. Watson, chronicling Sherlock Holmes' involvement with Jack the Ripper. The true facts of the Ripper murders are played with a little, and the ending of the movie is totally changed, but this was an interesting take on the tale. Robert Fass does good with the Holmes/Watson parts, not so good with the Ellery bits.

The ultimate mystery/detective triad
Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and Ellery Queen all in one novel creates a mystery readers ideal. While many authors have tried to match Arthur Conan Doyle's tone and flow, no one has matched as well as Ellery Queen. A wonderful mystery filled with classic characters.
