THE ORIGIN OF EVIL

by Ellery Queen ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 5, 1951

Ellery Queen, in fine form, as Hollywood hands him the strange case of partners Hill and Priam, Hill who is to die when a dead dog is left on his doorstep, Priam, a paralytic, who is the victim of other weird warnings. The presence of Priam's wife whose exotic beauty disturbs Ellery, of her son- a nature boy who lives in a tree house, of his companion an amnesiac, heighten the many unreasonable events which have a scientific sequence and solution. The surmise-surprise package as before.
