Sobre aquest llibre
The 1-eyed cop Tim Corrigan tears New York apart in search of a vanished beauty
Before the Korean War, Tim Corrigan was the toughest cop in the NYPD. He lost his left eye in battle, but that didn’t make him any softer. The eye patch makes it impossible for Corrigan to work undercover, to blend in, to sneak. So he doesn’t sneak, and he never whispers. He roars.
Corrigan’s closest friend is Chuck Baer, a private detective who saved his life more than once in Korea, and who is currently combing the city for a missing heiress named Bianca. When a woman matching her description is hauled out of the sewer, Corrigan fears he’s solved his friend’s case. But finding Bianca will take more than a lucky guess. The secret to her disappearance will draw Corrigan into the darkest part of New York’s underbelly. In the city of the blind, the 1-eyed cop is king.

Sobre l'autor
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.
