Происхождение зла

Cousins ​​Frederick Danny and Manfred Bennington Lee worked under the pseudonym Ellery Queen. In the late 20s, the cousins ​​lived in Brooklyn and worked in advertising agencies in New York. The first joint literary experience was so successful for them that they devoted themselves forever to detective prose. And the magnificent Ellery Queen is not only the pseudonym of the writers, but also the protagonist of many of their works

Several mysterious murders by the Strangler Cat have thrown an entire town into a state of panic, but what was most frightening was their complete lack of motive ("The Cat with Many Tails"). There are no motives in no less mysterious signs foreshadowing possible crimes ("The Origin of Evil"). However, the more mysterious, the more interesting - this is the motto of amateur detective and writer Ellery Queen, who again finds himself in the thick of dramatic and bloody events. About all this and more in the book The Origin of Evil (Ellery Queen)
