Who was the dead man? Where had he come from? What was the motive for murder? Why was everything at the scene of the crime turned backwards? Nobody knew him. Yet everyone found their lives changed by the nameless corpse! It was a riddle almost beyond solution. Then Ellery Queen took over and it proved to be one of the most unusual cases of his brilliant career. (#00001601)
