The Chinese Orange Mystery by Ellery Queen
The offices of foreign literature publisher and renowned stamp collector Donald Kirk are often host to strange activities, but the most recent occurrence -- the murder of an unknown caller, found dead in an empty waiting room -- is unlike any that has come before. Nobody, it seems, entered or exited the room, and yet the crime scene clearly has been manipulated, leaving everything turned backward and upside down. Stuck through the back of the corpse's shirt are two long spears -- and a tangerine is missing from the fruit bowl.
Enter amateur sleuth Ellery Queen, who arrives just in time to witness the discovery of the body and immediately launches an investigation. In this complex case, no clue is too minor or too glaring to warrant careful consideration.
