Death Valley lives up to its name when a murder draws Ellery Queen
into the strange practices of a religious cult. It's 1943, the war
is raging, and sleuthing scribe Ellery Queen wants to do his bit.
After a tortuous cross-country drive, he takes a job writing
scripts for a Hollywood propaganda house--twelve hours a day of
hack work that quickly turns his mind to jelly. After a few weeks,
he is so worn down that he can type nothing but gibberish, and he
decides to drive home. The trouble starts as soon as he reaches the
desert. His ancient roadster breaks down on the edge of Death
Valley. Wandering in search of help, he is saved by a man known as
the Teacher, who takes him to an oasis called Quenan. Here, Queen
finds a bizarre, reclusive cult that seems to have come straight
out of the ancient past. A murder has been committed in the desert,
and the Quenanites plan on delivering some Old Testament justice.
Queen is just the detective they've been waiting for.
