A fixer hunts down a man in Europe for the sake of his lover’s fortune

In 1943, Barney Street was flying a bombing mission over Holland when the Germans knocked his plane out of the sky. He bailed out at the last minute and was rescued from the Nazis by a Czech officer named Milo Hacha. Decades later, Street is dead, and his widow is desperate to get her greedy mitts on his estate. There’s just one problem: His will leaves every cent to Hacha, who disappeared years ago. Street’s widow hires her lover, Steve Longacre, to go to Europe in search of the missing benefactor. If he’s dead, all is well. If not, Longacre will have to kill him.
 
From Holland to Switzerland and beyond the Iron Curtain, Longacre stalks the Czech’s trail. He may have come for money, but he’ll be lucky to escape with his life.

 

저자 정보

Ellery Queen was a pen name created and shared by two cousins, Frederic Dannay (1905–1982) and Manfred B. Lee (1905–1971), as well as the name of their most famous detective. Born in Brooklyn, they spent forty-two years writing, editing, and anthologizing under the name, gaining a reputation as the foremost American authors of the Golden Age “fair play” mystery.
 
Although eventually famous on television and radio, Queen’s first appearance came in 1928, when the cousins won a mystery-writing contest with the book that was later published as The Roman Hat Mystery. Their character was an amateur detective who uses his spare time to assist his police inspector uncle in solving baffling crimes. Besides writing the Queen novels, Dannay and Lee cofounded Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential crime publications of all time. Although Dannay outlived his cousin by nine years, he retired Queen upon Lee’s death.
