In post-Depression America, an amateur sleuth uncovers a small townās dark side in āthe best mystery produced by Ellery Queenā (The New York Times).
Ā
At the tail end of the long summer of 1940, there is nowhere in the country more charming than Wrightsville. The Depression has abated, and for the first time in years the city is booming. There is hope in Wrightsville, but Ellery Queen has come looking for death.
Ā
The mystery author is hoping for fodder for a novel, and he senses the corruption that lurks beneath the apple pie faƧade. He rents a house owned by the townās first family, whose three daughters star in most of the local gossip. One is fragile, left at the altar three years ago and never recovered. Another is engaged to the cityās rising political star, an upright man whoās already boring her. And then thereās Lola, the divorced, bohemian black sheep. Together, they make a volatile combination. Once he sees the ugliness in Wrightsville, Queen sits backāwaiting for the crime to come to him.
