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.

SUMMARY - THE COPPER FRAME - This was cold-blooded murder!The Syndicate--led by gangster Larry Cutter--is trying to take over Iroquois. They want the town, mayor, and police chief in their pocket. So they kill chief Andy Saxon and one of his top men. Then they move in to clean up. But they hadn't reckoned on the chief's son, Lieutenant Ted Saxon. And to stop him, they will have to frame him with his own father's murder! Suspended from the force, facing trial, the whole town against him, how could Ted hope to beat Cutter's hands? .A ROOM TO DIE IN - A corpse, a gun, and a blackmail threat in a locked room provided the scenario for suicide and a hard-to-beat case against murder. But Ann Nelson was positive her father would never take his own life. Only when several more bodies were uncovered would the cops listen, and then it was almost too late. Ann had put her finger on some dangerous clues, and if she didn't think fast a deadly murderer would put the finger on her. . . Seller Inventory # 081018003
