Summary:

"When amateur sleuth Ellery Queen drives from New York City to the coastal retreat of Spanish Cape, he expects a relaxing summer getaway, but quickly realizes his trip will be no walk on the beach. Th night before his arrival, a young woman and her uncle were abducted by a gun-toting giant with one eye; then, soon after Queen shows up, the young woman's shady sweetheart is found dead, stark naked beneath a black fedora and opera cloak. There are plenty of people present who might have wanted the caddish man dead, but only Ellery Queen has the deductive skills to find the true killer--and to learn what in the world happened to the victim's clothes. Only Ellery Queen, that is, and his most scrupulous readers, presented over the course of this puzzling tale with all the clues necessary to work out the solution on their own." -- book jacket
