Description

A gang of young sleuths and a trusty terrier put their noses to a bank robbers trail

Ellery Queens young apprentice, Djuna, is preparing for an afternoon of fishing when a stranger leans out of his car window and asks for directions to Canada. A few minutes later, Djuna watches as the mans friends come running out of the local bank and into the getaway car, guns blazing, before taking off for the Canadian border.

It is a mystery that could baffle even Djunas famous boss, but with the help of a ferocious black Scottie named Champ and a few crime-solving friends, he will find the culprits. It will be the greatest adventure of his life.

Ellery Queen is one of the worlds finest detectives, but his adventures are nothing compared to the Ellery Queen Jr. Mystery Stories. Join Queens apprentice, Djuna, and his trusty Scottie, Champ, on adventures filled with danger, suspense, and thrills.

The Black Dog Mystery is the first book in the Ellery Queen Jr. Mystery Stories, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Author Bio

Ellery Queen was a pen name created and shared by two cousins, Frederic Dannay (19051982) and Manfred B. Lee (19051971), 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, Queens 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 Queens Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential crime publications of all time. Although Dannay outlived his cousin by nine years, he retired Queen upon Lees death.
