The Player on the Other Side
About this audiobook
A five-sided card with the letter "J" stamped on it appeared in Robert York's mail, and a day later he was dead, crushed by a boulder. It was no accident. Someone knew York would be under that rock wall at precisely 7:30. Then another card showed up for Emily York, stamped with the letter "H," and Ellery Queen knew he was up against a brilliant killer who made a game of death by warning his victims. The only clue to the murderer's identity was the signature "Y," and Ellery had to find him and stop his remorseless vendetta before "Y" won his mad game.
About the author
Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
