Det ægyptiske kors

En skolelærer fra en lille by i West Virginia julemorgen findes halshugget og korsfæstet til en vejviser, så hans krop former bogstavet ’T’. Privatdetektiven Ellery Queen indfinder sig på gerningsstedet og opdager hurtigt, at mordet meget vel kan have forbindelse til en mystisk, skægget profet, der henter stor inspiration i den egyptiske mytologi. Men kan han også bevise det? Eller må der flere lig på bordet, før den mystiske sag kan få sin afslutning?

Ellery Queen er både en fiktiv karakter og et fælles pseudonym for to fætre fra Brooklyn, New York – Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay, og Manford Emanuel Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee – som sammen skrev mere end 30 romaner og flere novellesamlinger under Ellery Queen-pseudonymet.

Den fiktive Ellery Queen er krimiforfatter og amatørdetektiv, og han bistår sin far, der er politiinspektør i New York, med at løse forvirrende mordgåder.

    Ellery Queen

    Ellery Queen was a pen name created and shared by two cousins, Frederic Dannay (1905–1982) and Manfred B. Lee (1905–1971), as well as the name of their most famous detective. Born in Brooklyn, they spent forty-two years writing, editing, and anthologizing under the name, gaining a reputation as the foremost American authors of the Golden Age “fair play” mystery. Although eventually famous on television and radio, Queen’s first appearance came in 1928, when the cousins won a mystery-writing contest with the book that would eventually be published as The Roman Hat Mystery. Their character was an amateur detective who uses his spare time to assist his police inspector uncle in solving baffling crimes. Besides writing the Queen novels, Dannay and Lee cofounded Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential crime publications of all time. Although Dannay outlived his cousin by nine years, he retired Queen upon Lee’s death.
