The Egyptian Cross Mystery

The Egyptian Cross Mystery

The Queens are intrigued when a grisly murder mars a small townâ€™s Christmas
Itâ€™s Christmas in Chicago, and Inspector Richard Queen is enjoying a busmanâ€™s holiday at a conference on gangland violenceâ€”but his son, amateur sleuth Ellery, is
bored silly. Until, that is, Ellery reads of an unusual killing in rural Arroyo, West Virginia: A schoolmaster has been found beheaded and crucified. Ellery hustles his father into his roadster and heads east, since there is nothing heâ€™d like better for Christmas than a juicy, gruesome puzzle.
Â
When the Queens arrive in Arroyo, they learn that the victim was an eccentric atheist, but not the sort to make enemies. What initially looks to be the work of a sadistic cult turns out to be something far more sinister. In the months ahead, more victims will turn up all over the worldâ€”all killed in the same horrifying manner. It will take several bodies before Queen divines the clue that unlocks the mystery of the Christmas crucifixion.
