Face to FaceThe only clue to the murder of Gloria Guild, the singing "Glory" of the Thirties, is her dying scrawl of the word "face". Why face? Whose face? Ellery Queen pursues the Glory riddle from the Bowery to a way-out wedding -- and a surprise climax that will jolt you into cold shock. Any reader who nails this killer is a genius or a cheat. |
