The Last Woman in His Life

Ellery Queen Detective seriesbook 33Next:Cop Out(1969) →

John Lovering Benedict had more than most men, most of all more women—including 3 ex-wives with little in common but their extraordinary physiques. For Ellery the question was which one of them had bashed in Benedict's skull with a hunk of iron statuary? The clues were many, but puzzling. All had been planted at the scene of the crime, but by whom, and for what purpose? And who was the last woman in John Benedict's life?
