Some men retire on a hundred grand—or buy their wives mink coats with days of the week sewn in the lining … or fly to Rio for a good cup of coffee—but not Jim Morgan.
Jim had a hundred thousand all right—neatly packed in stacks of fifties—only someone had made an expensive mistake. A mistake that put him on the run for his money—as well as his life.

“The story of the man, who, through an accidental switch of briefcases, acquires a hundred thousand dollars in black money and all the temptations thereunto…Moves at a fine, fast pace.” —New York Times, 1966
Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington
Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins
also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award
for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
