defies the men with money and muscle to focus in on a macabre
conspiracy of evil that feeds on human lives and manacles the

Looking for trouble, Ellery Queen descends on a small town.
At the tail end of the long summer of 1940, there is nowhere in
the country more charming than Wrightsville. The Depression has
abated, and for the first time in years the city is booming. There
is hope in Wrightsville, but Ellery Queen has come looking for
death.
The mystery author is hoping for fodder for a novel, and he
senses the corruption that lurks beneath the apple pie facade. He
rents a house owned by the town s first family, whose three
daughters star in most of the local gossip. One is fragile, left at
the altar three years prior, never to recover. Another is engaged
to the city s rising political star, an upright man who s already
boring her. And then there s Lola, the divorced, bohemian black
sheep. Together, they make a volatile combination. Once he sees the
ugliness in Wrightsville, Queen sits back waiting for the crime to
come to him."
Bob Christopher is Los Angeles Channel Three television-news
action reporter. His beat is the little people the ones who get
pushed around, find themselves in god-awful messes, and produce
human interest for the insatiable maw of television.
But this story was different from the first, when a tiny old
lady told Christopher about the bulldozers that had leveled her
home without reason or warning. That was ugly enough. What happened
to the old lady a little while later was even nastier. And suddenly
Bob isn t dealing with the little people any more. He finds himself
in deep with big-time politics, a giant oil corporation, a group of
wild American Indians, and a high-priced hooker all out to make him
a corpse before he can report the news."
There are three members of KTFO s ace six o clock news team and
two of them have been murdered. It is the hottest story of Bob
Christopher s life, assuming he doesn t get canceled by a sniper s
bullet. But what a story There are Vegas mobsters, brown berets, a
blackmailed executive, and a sex kitten not to mention the Ku Klux
Klan, the Navajos, and an assassin built like a Mack truck. Is this
what they call media backlash or mass murder? "
