THE ROMAN HAT MYSTERY

The Roman Hat Mystery – Ellery Queen | Apple Books Description

A murder in plain sight sets the stage for a brilliant puzzle in The Roman Hat Mystery by Ellery Queen—the first novel in the celebrated Ellery Queen mystery series.

When a man is found dead in a crowded theater in New York City, the crime seems impossible: he was poisoned while surrounded by hundreds of witnesses, yet no one saw anything suspicious. The only clue is the missing silk hat he wore to the performance.

Detective Ellery Queen takes on the baffling case, applying sharp logic and keen observation to untangle a web of deception. As he pieces together the evidence, he challenges readers to solve the mystery alongside him.
