By Ellery Queen

It was the last thing that Ellery Queen ever expected to encounter. He was on his way from Los Angeles to New York. He took a wrong turn. Suddenly there it was, a figure standing on the cliff above him. It was a man -- an old man dressed in a hooded brown robe. In one hand he carried a crooked staff, in the other a curiously shaped instrument, something like a trumpet. As Ellery got out of the Duesenberg and walked toward him, the old man turned his gaunt profile and jutting beard. "The Word be with you." And thus began one of the most curious adventures that has ever befallen Ellery Queen.

Ellery Queen's Calendar of Crime (July to Dec)

By Ellery Queen

In New York City in 1928, a 23 year old advertising copywriter, Daniel Nathan, and his publicity agent cousin, Manfred Lepovski, wrote a story for a contest. Since the contest required anonymity, they wrote under the pen name of Ellery Queen. They also made Ellery Queen the name of the principal character in the story, reckoning that repetition would increase his name recognition. An amateur sleuth who assists his father Inspector Queen, Ellery presents all the facts to us in his stories, then challenges us to solve the mystery before he does. In the 1930s the cousins turned their attention to writing Hollywood scripts, and in 1941 founded Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, to encourage young writers and nurture the medium. Their development of character, and their explorations into psychological and historical dimensions of the genre, broke new ground.
