  Ellery Queen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ellery Queen is both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn, New York: Frederick Dannay (October 20, 1905–September 3, 1982) and Manfred B. Lee (January 11, 1905–April 3, 1971), to write detective fiction.
Ellery the character was himself a detective story writer, a snobbish, almost priggish Harvard-educated intellectual of independent wealth who wore a pince-nez and investigated and solved crimes solely because he found them stimulating.
The Queen novels are examples of the classic "fair play", whodunit mystery, particularly during what became known as the "Golden Age" of the mystery novel.

 Ellery Queen Works
Ellery Queen was one of two brainchildren of the team of cousins, Fred Dannay and Manfred B. Lee.
Dannay and Lee chose the pseudonym of Ellery Queen as their (first) writing moniker, for it was only natural -- since the character Ellery was writing mysteries -- that their mysteries should be the ones that Ellery Queen wrote.
Ellery Queen (actually one of the cousins, usually Dannay) would appear in public masked, as though he were protecting his identity.

 Ellery Queen
Ellery Queen is the pseudonym of two cousins, Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee.
Ellery Queen is a genius amateur sleuth who works in close, respectful collaboration with the police, the same pattern as Van Dine's novels about Philo Vance.
The least interesting dying message tales in EQ are the pure ones, in which Ellery investigates the possible meanings of a message, and little else: such tales as "The Adventure of the March of Death" (1939) or "Mum Is the Word" (1966).

 Welcome to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine!
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine was launched in the fall of 1941 by Lawrence E. Spivak of The Mercury Press (who subsequently founded and hosted the popular TV show Meet the Press).
It was heralded as the brainchild of Ellery Queen himself, really the two-cousin writing team of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee.
The Readers Encyclopedia of American Literature calls Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine "the finest periodical of its kind." Thanks to its many gifted contributors, EQMM remains where it has always been, on the cutting edge of crime and mystery fiction, offering readers the very best stories being written in the genre anywhere in the world.
