Additional information
by Ellery Queen (Author), Josh Pachter (Author)
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.
Josh Pachter honors the legacy of Ellery Queen in five clever new stories featuring Queen's Puzzle Club, presented here with the original five, never-before-collected stories. An additional four stories featuring Ellery Queen Griffen and his siblings-including Pachter's first published story-are equally remarkable. If you're a fan of Ellery Queen-and who isn't?-you must add The Adventures of the Puzzle Club to your collection. (Michael Bracken, award-winning author and editor)
