Synopsis

In a quiet New England town where talk of murder was all around, a childhood verse was the only clue to the bodies dropped two by two. It was a game of death by simple rhyme, whose victims were picked by poetic meter and time. For murder so foul, a sleuth was needed, a man like Ellery, a detective unsuperseded. But one grisly "accident" was still to be seen, involving a car, an explosion...and our inimitable Mr. Queen.

About the Author

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn - Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905-1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905-1971) - to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors' name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
