Trying to find trouble, Ellery Queen descends on a small town. At the tail end of the long summertime of 1940, there is certainly nowhere in the country more lovely than Wrightsville. The Major depression has abated, and then for the first time in years the location is booming. There may be trust in Wrightsville, but Ellery Queen has come looking for loss of life. The mystery writer is longing for fodder for a novel, and he senses the corruption that lurks under the apple pie façade. He rents a house managed by the town's first family, whose three daughters celebrity in the majority of the neighborhood gossip. One is fragile, left at the altar three years prior, to never retrieve. Another is involved to the city's growing political celebrity, an up-right man who's already boring her. And then there's Lola, the divorced, bohemian blacksheep. Mutually, they make a volatile combination. Once he considers the ugliness in Wrightsville, Queen sits back - looking forward to the crime to come to him.
