Born during intermission in a seedy New Orleans playhouse, Drury Lane has spent the better part of his life in the theater. A majestic old-fashioned thespian, he made his name in London, where his record-breaking run as Hamlet defined the role for a generation. When hearing loss forces him to retire, he turns his attention to human drama-specifically crime. Using his powers of disguise, knowledge of human nature, and an occasional dash of theatrical combat, Lane is the most fantastic detective of all time-onstage or off.
In The Tragedy of X, a man is poisoned in the middle of a crowded New York streetcar and not one of the dozens of witnesses can provide any useful evidence. The police are stumped until they receive a letter from Lane, claiming to have solved the crime by reading newspaper reports. He knows the killer's name-but now he has to catch him.
Originally published under the Barnaby Ross pen name, The Tragedy of X is one of Ellery Queen's most beloved mysteries; though different in character and style from the Queen mysteries, its mixture of classical detection and an erudite sleuth makes for great Golden Age fare.
