The American Gun Mystery: An Ellery Queen Mystery by Ellery Queen


A wild west show is playing in New York when one of the performers is shot dead.  Who did it?

Penxler Publishers and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can get a copy now.

They all had guns but they were filled with blanks.  Someone had a small pistol they used to kill him.  It had to have been done by someone at the show so 20,000 people had to stay to be interviewed.  All guns were confiscated but no gun matched the bullet.

There is a large hunt carried out but still no luck at finding the gun.

As questions are asked, Ellery thinks he knows what happned, but how to prove it?

It's well done mystery about the missing gun and the killer.  The killer was unexpected.  It took good brainwork to find the killer.
