Who are you, Malone? Just a little while ago you were a cop. That was before the two punks and their girl hit town. That was before they boosted a payroll and shot down a man and took your nine-year-old daughter as insurance to cover their getaway. Now youâre just a man. Scared. Not for yourselfâthat would be easy. But for your child, the only thing in the world you love enough to make you play ball with the kind of scum youâve hated all your life.

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from BrooklynâDaniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905â1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905â1971)âto write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authorsâ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queenâs Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
