The Egyptian Cross Mystery

by Ellery Queen, Richard Waterhouse (Read by)

Overview

It's Christmas in Chicago, and Detective Richard Queen is enjoying a busman's holiday—but his son, amateur sleuth Ellery, is bored silly. Until, that is, Ellery reads of an unusual killing in rural Arroyo, West Virginia. A schoolmaster has been found beheaded and crucified. Ellery hustles his father into his roadster and heads east. There the Queens soon realize that this killing is far more sinister than it first appeared. In the months ahead, more victims will turn up all over the world—all killed in the same horrifying manner. It will take several bodies before Ellery divines the clue that unlocks the mystery of the Christmas crucifixion.
