They sat about the old walnut table in the Queen apartment--five oddly assorted individuals. There was District Attorney Henry Sampson, a slender man with bright eyes. Beside Sampson glowered Salvatore Fiorelli, head of the Narcotic Squad, a burly Italian with a long black scar on his right cheek. Red-haired Timothy Cronin, Sampson's assistant, was there. And Inspector Richard Queen and Ellery Queen sat shoulder to shoulder with vastly differing facial expressions.
The third Ellery Queen mystery, and a classic of the Golden Age "nationality" series. When a department store's grand window display collapses mid-demonstration, it reveals the hidden corpse of the store owner's own mother. Ellery Queen must untangle a web of family secrets, corporate intrigue, and drug smuggling behind the respectable facade of French's department store. First published in 1930 by Frederick A. Stokes Company, it's vintage puzzle-plot detective fiction built for readers who like to race the detective to the solution.
