"What a treasure! . . . literally a blow-by-blow account of
the creation of three of the strongest Queen novels."
Francis M. Nevins
The writing team of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee
(better known by their joint byline of Ellery Queen) produced
some of the most ambitious mystery novels of the mid-20th Century.
Yet their relationship was acrimonious, marred by pain,
financial and professional dependency and mistrust.
Here, culled from the Dannay archives by author
and dramatist Joseph Goodrich,
is the selected correspondence of these two
volatile men during a period of their most important
creative achievements.
With a Foreword by longtime television producer-writer
William Link (Columbo, Ellery Queen, Murder, She Wrote).
"A superlative book . . . jaw-dropping revelations."
William Link
