The Last Man Club

he Last Man Club (1941) $ 100 000,payable to the final survivor of the strange Last Man Club. It was a wonder they didn't start killing each other off..and then they did. Plunging Ellery Queen and Nikki Porter into a challenging chase after an invulnerable killer!
	Again based on a radio play "The Last Man Club" by Ellery Queen. But aside the leading role no real Queen. First appeared as one of the Better Little Books (N° 1406) in 1941 and published by Pyramid books in 1968 together with The Adventure of the Murdered Millionaire. Above left: "He was walking Nikki home". Above right: "Nikki worshipped her hero".
Above (Top and left side): The Whitman Better Little Book edition features a murder mystery with black and white illustrations. *

Ellery's address is given as "212-A West 87th Street" beside being an obvious referral to a certain Baker Street address but also a one off in the Queen canon. Nikki's (pert, blonde and pretty) domicile can be found in West 94th Street.
