From the Grand Master Edgar Award winner, a mystery featuring Inspector Thumm and actor-turned-sleuth Drury Lane searching for a Shakespearean manuscript.
Inspector Thumm has never seen such a marvelous beard. It is massive and pointed, a rainbow composed of all the colors of Joseph's biblical coat. He's so distracted by the beard that he hardly notices the man it belongs to: a prospective client with mysterious business. This bearded fellow hands over an envelope containing a million-dollar secret -- and the key to a matter of life and death. However, Thumm quickly forgets his strange visitor when a rare Shakespearean manuscript is stolen, only to be replaced by a rarer, more valuable one. With the help of the legendary Shakespearean actor Drury Lane, Thumm must locate the missing manuscript and solve an impossible murder -- before the curtain comes down forever.
Praise for Ellery Queen:
"Ellery Queen clearly is, after Poe, the most important American in mystery fiction." -- Otto Penzler, editor of The Best American Mystery Stories
"A new Ellery Queen book has always been something to look forward to for many years now." -- Agatha Christie
"Ellery Queen is the American detective story." -- Anthony Boucher, author of Nine Times Nine
