It was a script that could only have come from Hollywood: the wedding of two superstars after a scandal-filled courtship ... a wild trip by private plane to a hideaway ... a deadly double overdose of drugs ...
These corpses werenโt play-acting. Once again Ellery was cast in the role of master detective, as he found nothing was quite what it seemed in the never-never land of moviedomโexcept sudden, violent death.
Here is a grand mystery with an extremely ingenious, intricate, and watertight plot. The setting is Hollywood, and something is happening all the time. Itโs fantastic and uproarious, and full of Hollywood patter at its lushest. Itโs expertly solved, with an effective extra turnover at the end resulting in a surprising and thrilling finish.

In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authorsโ name and that of the detective-hero.

They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
