Features: Ellery Queen is the pen name of two American mystery writers, Frederick Dannay and Manfred B. Lee. The two authors began collaborating in 1932 and created a series of distinctive detective novels, most of which were published under the name Ellery Queen. Ellery Queen is also the protagonist of their novels, with the character himself being a mystery writer and a super detective. The young and handsome detective Ellery Queen and his father, Richard Queen, a police officer at the New York Police Department, are the main characters in 35 of the works. The character Ellery Queen in the stories has an athletic, sturdy physique and charming silver-gray eyes. He is quick-witted and possesses exceptional reasoning skills. This image became the standard model of American detective characters—a highly sensual modern American Sherlock Holmes. Richard Queen, on the other hand, is a gentle and kind elderly man who often appears in the shadow of his highly intelligent son.
