- Synopsis
- Ellery Queen and his father discover a baffling murder on a private island Ellery Queen and his father are meandering through breakfast when their apartment is invaded. Without making a sound, 2 men appear in the Queens&’ living room, guns drawn, and proceed to search the place. When they&’re done, a 3rd man follows: a paunchy little professor-type who happens to be the brother of a king. King Bendigo doesn&’t rule a country, but his control of the international arms trade has made him one of the richest men in the world. It&’s not surprising that somebody wants him dead. Bendigo&’s brother comes to the Queens to ask them to save the tycoon&’s life—but they fail. The king is found dead in a hermetically sealed room, a bullet lodged in his heart. The murder is impossible to solve—that is, for anyone but Ellery Queen.
