Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cons to kidnapping to murder, eighteen ingenious stories showcase the talents of “the prince of American detective fiction” (Kirkus Reviews). The agents of the FBI are fierce, brilliant, and brave—but nothing in their files can compare to the puzzling mysteries that have been tackled by Ellery Queen. He is a one-man crime-fighting force, whose areas of expertise range from murder and blackmail to rare books and buried treasure. At the headquarters of the Queen’s Bureau of Investigation, or QBI, there’s no crime that can’t be solved. Whether investigating a trio of widows, a bumbling Shakespearean actor, or a blackmailed Sicilian, Queen is quick to deploy his secret weapon in the fight against crime: his brain. Each of these eighteen stories is an elegant puzzle, crafted with all the wit that has made Queen the most famous detective of his age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated sleuth’s father, retired Inspector Richard Queen, is called back to service to catch a devious black-market murderer. When unmarried women get into trouble, A. Burt Finner is waiting at the hospital to save them. This greasy-lipped fat man knows all about babies: how to change them, how to feed them—and how to sell them to the highest bidder. He buys low, getting them from their distressed mothers just a few hours after birth, and sells high to millionaires who are unable to have children of their own. When one of these infants dies just a few months after its sale, the new family is shocked by the tragedy. Only the newborn’s nurse recognizes the death as murder. The nurse reaches out to Inspector Richard Queen, the recently retired father of the legendary amateur sleuth Ellery. Given that his son is out of town, the inspector leaps at a chance to solve this chilling mystery on his own—only to find himself falling head over heels for the baby’s caretaker.
