Year-round, their displays show off the finest in fashion, art, and home d&eacute;cor, and tourists and locals alike make a point of stopping to see what&rsquo;s on offer. One afternoon, as the board debates a merger upstairs, a salesgirl begins a demonstration in one of the windows, showing off French&rsquo;s new Murphy bed. A crowd gathers to watch the bed lower from the wall after a single touch of a button. But as the bed opens, people run screaming.

Only one detective has the soft touch necessary&mdash;debonair intellectual Ellery Queen. As Queen and his police inspector father dig into French&rsquo;s secrets, they find their killer is more serious than any window shopper.</div><DIV></div>
