Story
For Ellery Queen, there is no puzzle that reason cannot solve. In his time, he has faced down killers, thugs, and thieves, protected only by the might of his brain - and the odd bit of timely intervention by his father, a burly New York police inspector. But when a university professor asks Queen to teach a class, the detective finds there are people whom reason cannot touch: college students. Queen's adventure on campus is only the first of this incomparable collection of short mysteries.

Story
Trick I - The first thing to vanish is a worthless doorstop. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, goes its rich and elderly owner. And, for the grand finale, both reappear - each as dead as the other. Trick II - From the House of Darkness issues more bafflement. In total darkness and from a distance of 12 feet, four bullets are pumped within an inch of each other into a spectator's back - a feat utterly impossible to perform yet brazenly and undeniably done.

Rare Ellery Queen.
This was a fun little Ellery Queen short story. Ellery belongs to a puzzle club and he has to solve a puzzle about 3 guys who live in an apartment building, they appear to be just 3 average middle aged guys, but one is a big drug dealer who killed an undercover officer, any way if Ellery can not solve the puzzle of who the drug dealer is, he will be kicked out of the puzzle club. Traber Burns does a good job narrating.

Multiple solutions
Another worthy quiz question and Ellery actually finds 3 answers. Etymology knowledge will help you play along. (I hope that doesn’t constitute a spoiler)

A Parlor Game
There’s always an element of that in Ellery Queen. The difference here is that this is a literal parlor game. As usual, it’s loads of fun, made even more enjoyable with the capable assistance of Traber Burns.

Interesting story but hard to keep up with in an audiobook format. Not the fault of the author or the narrator
