Ellery Queen is a legendary amateur detective and writer of crime novels. Under his name, cousins Frederick Dannay (1905-1982) and Manfred Lee (1905-1971) wrote a series of fascinating books that rank with the works of detective genre luminaries A. Christie, E. S. Gardner, R. Stout and J. D. Carra.

Ellery and his old friend - Judge McLean - come to rest in a house next to the Spanish Cape - the place of residence of multimillionaire Walter Godfrey. It’s not hard to guess that the vacation turns into an investigation into a complicated case with a twist in the form of a completely naked body on the terrace.
