Ellery Queen Books in Order
Ellery Queen is a renowned pen name created and shared by two cousins, Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee. As accomplished authors, they spent forty-two years writing, editing, and anthologizing, establishing a reputation as the leading American authors of the Golden Age "fair play" mystery. Born in Brooklyn, they first gained recognition in 1928 with the mystery-writing contest-winning book, The Roman Hat Mystery, which would eventually be published. Their iconic character, Ellery Queen, is an amateur detective who assists his police inspector father in solving intricate crimes. Besides writing the Queen novels, Dannay and Lee cofounded Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, a highly influential crime publication. Upon Lee's death, Dannay retired the Queen name, but later books were written by notable authors such as Jack Vance, Avram Davidson, and Theodore Sturgeon.
