This was cold-blooded murder!The Syndicate—led by gangster Larry Cutter—is trying to take over Iroquois. They want the town, mayor, and police chief in their pocket. So they kill chief Andy Saxon and one of his top men. Then they move in to clean up. But they hadn't reckoned on the chief's son, Lieutenant Ted Saxon. And to stop him, they will have to frame him with his own father's murder! Suspended from the force, facing trial, the whole town against him, how could Ted hope to beat Cutter's hands?

About Ellery Queen

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.

Ted Saxon is a lieutenant on the local police department where his dad, Andy, is the Chief of Police. When Andy is ambushed and killed, T......more

Goodreads review by Anne on November 26, 2021

A classic cops vs. bad guys novel. Not my preferred genre; read for a Goodreads challenge. It was a good, quick read and took me along for the ride, but I don’t plan on reading any more by this author.......more
