A stylish puzzle mystery from the author who "took the intellectual
game that was the formal detective novel to greater heights than
any American writer" (The Weekly Standard). The windows of French's
department store are one of New York's great attractions.
Year-round, their displays show off the finest in fashion, art, and
home decor, and tourists and locals alike make a point of stopping
to see what's on offer. One afternoon, as the board debates a
merger upstairs, a salesgirl begins a demonstration in one of the
windows, showing off French's new Murphy bed. A crowd gathers to
watch the bed lower from the wall after a single touch of a button.
But as the bed opens, people run screaming. Out tumbles a
woman-crumpled, bloody, and dead. The victim was Mrs. French, wife
of the company president, and finding her killer will turn this
esteemed store upside down. Only one detective has the soft touch
necessary-debonair intellectual Ellery Queen. As Queen and his
police inspector father dig into French's secrets, they find their
killer is more serious than any window shopper.
