The French Powder Mystery

The French Powder Mystery

Â A corpse in a department store window offers a gruesome puzzle for Ellery Queen
The windows of Frenchâ€™s department store are one of New Yorkâ€™s great attractions. Year-round, their displays show off the finest in fashion, art, and home dÃ©cor, and tourists and locals alike make a point of stopping to see whatâ€™s on offer. One afternoon, as the board debates a merger upstairs, a salesgirl begins a demonstration in one of the windows, showing off Frenchâ€™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 womanâ€”crumpled, bloody, and dead.
Â
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 necessaryâ€”debonair intellectual Ellery Queen. As Queen and his police inspector father dig into Frenchâ€™s secrets, they find their killer is more serious than any window shopper.
