Synopsis

A card with the letter J on it appeared in Robert York's mail and a day later he was dead. Then another card showed up and Ellery Queen knew he was up against a brilliant killer who made a game of death by warning his victims. The only clue was the signature Y and Ellery Queen had to find him and stop his remorseless vendetta before Y won his mad game.

From AudioFile

This novel marked the return of the Ellery Queen series after a five-year hiatus, as well as the beginning of a new phase in Queen's detective exploits. Player makes for an awkward adaptation. The story involves a complex, puzzle-like plot; the printed novel included a map, diagrams and typographic changes, none of which translate to audio. One has trouble deciphering certain names: "Ann Drew" sounds like "Andrew," and "Y's Gambit" sounds like "wise gambit." Narration and characters are well differentiated by David Edwards, but his voice often comes across as tired and flat, made worse by the fuzzy recording quality. S.E.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
