This is a compilation of short stories by various authors, selected by Ellery Queen.
Excerpt from Introduction: "Dear Reader: Some of the details are now lost in the mists of memory. The survivors of that bold group agree that it all started one day in March 1945 when a baffle of detective-story writers met in an apartment in New York City. — The consensus is that eight of us gathered on that auspicious day - Marie Rodell, Baynard Kendrick, Ken Crossen, Anthony Boucher, Mignon G. Eberhart, Mabel Seely, Clayton Rawson, and Ellery Queen; and before the historic day ended, that small band of merry men and women had founded Mystery Writers of America, an Organization dedicated to making the lot of the mystery writer a happy one."
