From the front end pages - “Here is an event unique in the history of crime: a mystery within a mystery in which Ellery Queen and Sherlock Holmes meet in a strange and surprising way. It begins when Ellery receives a manuscript which appears to be a genuine, authentic Sherlock Holmes novel written by John H. Watson, M.D. The first mystery is: where did come from? The second mystery lies within the manuscript itself. For it tells the long-concealed story of how Holmes stalked Jack the Ripper–and discovered who he was! Now you can follow–Ellery “The logical successor to Sherlock Holmes”–as he literally follows the greatest detective of them all on the trail of the criminal who has never been named until now. The game is afoot again, and all of the answers are fair–though none of them is the obvious one. The story of “Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper” is presented with the full approval of the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and thus becomes a legitimate addition to the Holmes canon. “A study in Terror,” of which it forms the core, is something new in thrillers–and a new kind of book!” From the back cover - “The savage killer roamed the dark streets and alleys of London. No woman was safe from his swift, gory attacks as murder followed murder. No man could stop the menace or even guess the identity of the brute called...Jack The Ripper. No man...except Sherlock Holmes. Now it can be told–in this gripping modern thriller. Sherlock Holmes did stalk Jack the Ripper in 1888, and through a quirk of fate that is a mystery in itself, Ellery Queen follows in his footsteps in 1966. The two greatest detectives of all time match wits with each other–and together arrive at a solution that will stun you. Who was Jack the Ripper? Read the answer in this brand new, fully authentic Sherlock Holmes adventure, by today’s greatest living mystery writer, Ellery Queen”. Condition - The book is complete and tightly bound.
