This set of two classic Ellery Queen books includes...
QUEENS FULL, 1965
Features three novelettes and two short stories curated from a series of Ellery Queen magazine submissions including: The Death of Don Juan, The Wrightsville Heirs, The Case Against Carroll, E = Murder, and Diamonds in Paradise.
THE HOUSE OF BRASS, 1968 Book Club Edition
One of the last in the Ellery Queen series published in 1968, the dust jacket describes it as: "Ellery Queen's latest adventure initiates something new in the detective story - a "black fantasy" mystery, a satirical murder-comedy of the turned-on sixties which combines hilarity with the deadly macabre, and, of course, the full Queen-quota of fair-and-square deduction and endless surprise."
ABOUT ELLERY QUEEN (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
Ellery Queen is a pseudonym created in 1929 by American crime fiction writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee and the name of their main fictional character, a mystery writer in New York City who helps his police inspector father solve baffling murders. Dannay and Lee wrote most of the more than thirty novels and several short story collections in which Ellery Queen appeared as a character, and their books were among the most popular of American mysteries published between 1929 and 1971.
