“Sleeping Bear” by Connor Sullivan

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

Yes, this story is a good thriller. I suspect there is a lot of under-cover espionage and medical experimenting going on that the general public knows nothing about.

   Hillary Huber did a good job of reading this thriller.

   On listnening to several stories and EQ explains how he came to his concludion, I like to go back to the beginning of the story to find out what I over-looked.  Often, it is a detail EQ kept to himself until the end.

   I was intrigued by the safe in a safe; naming an eye-witness to who came out of the murdered man’s room; How Queen identified the one of three boys who stole the money from the teacher’s desk and where he hid it; How the unlucky lady was murdered  and who Queen identified one of her three suiters as the murderer; How the Library of Congress was used as a drug deal location and how Queen identified the participants.

   Well, I could go on, but the last story caught my curiosity. In is Queen described a Lincoln stamp worth a lot of money. I looked it up and the closest to what he described as a double Lincoln stamp with the upper image of Lincoln is upside-down and no perforation between the top and bottom stamps. We found a 1869  90-cent upside-down Lincoln head stamp, but it was only one stamp and no perforations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym created in 1929 by American crime fiction writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee and the name of their main fictional character, a mystery writer in New York City who helps his police inspector father solve baffling murders.[1] Dannay and Lee wrote most of the more than thirty novels and several short story collections in which Ellery Queen appeared as a character, and their books were among the most popular of American mysteries published between 1929 and 1971. In addition to the fiction featuring their eponymous brilliant amateur detective, the two men acted as editors: as Ellery Queen they edited more than thirty anthologies of crime fiction and true crime, and Dannay founded and for many decades edited Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, which has been published continuously from 1941 to the present. From 1961, Dannay and Lee also commissioned other authors to write crime thrillers using the Ellery Queen nom de plume, but not featuring Ellery Queen as a character; several juvenile novels were credited to Ellery Queen, Jr. Finally, the prolific duo wrote four mysteries under the pseudonym Barnaby Ross.

Adding another layer of complexity to their relations, the two men were cousins, who created the nom de plume Ellery Queen using their professional names.[citation needed] Frederic Dannay was the professional name of Daniel Nathan[citation needed] (October 20, 1905 – September 3, 1982),[2] and Manfred Bennington Lee that of Emanuel Benjamin Lepofsky[citation needed] (January 11, 1905 – April 3, 1971).[3]
