Description
For years, Inspector Richard Queen had been outshone by his writer son. Now, with Ellery away, he had a case all his own-or did he? The verdict had been accidental death, and only the victim's nurse had seen the one thing that made it murder. Recruiting a senior citizens corps of retired cops, Dick Queen tracked a murderer-and found himself courting his only witness! No wonder he kept muttering, "What's Ellery going to say ... ?"
