Who Spies, Who Kills?
Über dieses Hörbuch
An exciting mystery by the masterly Ellery Queen
The horribly crushed body that crashed onto the Manhattan pavement has at least two names, several passports, and an address book full of important friends—among them, a millionaire roué; his exotic, deadly mistress; and his coolly beautiful wife—all of whom seem to have forgotten him very abruptly when he became a corpse. No one is talking, so it is up to Captain Corrigan, the man with the eye patch and a way with crime, to solve a violent puzzle of lust, greed, high espionage—and the worst kind of murder.
Autoren-Profil
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.
