"In a few minutes, Norris Wentworth will be dead. The question is, "Who killed him?" Was it the rebellious son? The long-suffering wife? The museum curator? His ambitious assistant? The angry Egyptian? Or was it someone else? Match wits with Ellery Queen and see if you can guess who done it!"
- Beneath Suspicion: The killer.
- Fright Death Trap: The method of killing; the Scared Stiff version is used.
- Newhart Phonecall: Simon calls up Ellery to announce he's calling a press conference to announce the killer and will mention Ellery in passing as helping. We focus on Simon as he listens to Ellery explain the real killer has just confessed, his face falling even as he tries to claim he was thinking the same thing as a "secondary solution." He then dryly tells his butler to tell the press "I'm indisposed."
