Ellery Queen - The Adventures of The Puzzle Club and Other Stories
Sold out.
SOLD OUT.
Featuring Stories by Josh Pachter
Introduced by Frederic Dannay
A collection more than half a century in the making!
The discerning reader will recall that the two cousins who wrote as Ellery Queen published five short stories about the Puzzle Club and its newest member, Ellery Queen himself, in the 1960s and '70s. Fifty years later, Josh Pachter picked up the gauntlet and gave us five more tales of the Puzzle Club, each as baffling as the original five, each with an introduction by a family member, friend, or aficionado of Mr. Queen.
In addition to the ten Puzzle Club stories are four that introduce the Griffen family and E.Q. Griffen, who solves problems as confusing as those presented to his namesake. These stories were written by Pachter and introduced by Frederic Dannay, one of the two cousins who made up the EQ partnership.
The chapbook that accompanies the signed and numbered clothbound edition includes Pachter's story "S.O.S.," which was edited by Dannay and published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1972.
