Why
did the last survivor of a wealthy family bring together six people whom
he didn't know and had never seen? Why did he decide to make these
perfect strangers his heirs? And where was old Hendrik's fortune hidden?
Ellery's latest adventure is a satirical murder-comedy of the turned-on
sixties which combines hilarity with the deadly macabre, and, of
course, the full Queen-quota of fair-and-square deduction and endless
surprise.
