Trick I -- The first thing to vanish is a worthless doorstop. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, goes its rich and elderly owner. And, for the grand finale, both reappear -- each as dead as the other.

Trick II -- From the House of Darkness issues more bafflement. In total darkness and from a distance of twelve feet, four bullets are pumped within an inch of each other into a spectator's back -- a feat utterly impossible to perform yet brazenly and undeniably done.

Trick III -- The pièce de résistance. This time it's an entire house, a real house, a solid house, which Ellery Queen had been in only the day before . . . vanished from the face of the earth. And in its place emerges one of the most incredible conundrums ever to face the master crime solver.

Encores -- The New Adventures of Ellery Queen is a classic collection of eight short mysteries and a remarkable short novel. First published in 1940, it has sold more than one million copies and continues to be ''as good as they come'' (New York Times).
