We made up a fictional artist who disappeared while preparing the exhibition and opened his show with his name hiding ourselves.
Ellery Queen is both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee , to write, edit, and anthologize detective fiction.
