Ellery Queen's Prime Crimes 2 / edited by Eleanor Sullivan, Karen A. Prince. — First publication. — New York : The Dial Press : Davis Publication, Inc., 1984. — 288 p. — (Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine) Volume 51.
Анотація: A field of opium poppies in the countryside outside Mexico City. The teeming streets of Jakarta, Indonesia. The Governor’s palace in the Lima, Peru, of Conquistador days. The ancient temples of Karnak and Luxor beside the Egyptian Nile. These are the settings for just a few of the stories in this collection, the second in a new series of Ellery Queen anthologies consisting of stories never before published in the United States, most of them never before published anywhere. Featured are stories by such internationally known mystery writers as Clark Howard, Antonia Fraser, Hillary Waugh, Frank Sisk, Tim Heald, and Edward D. Hoch, and an unfinished Melville Davisson Post story, finished by John F. Suter. There is also a stunning short novel by William Bankier. The collection represents an extremely diverse mix foreign and familiar, past end present, light and dark — all of it prime reading.
