Previously part of a collection, this rare Ellery Queen mystery is available as a standalone audiobook for the first time.

In "The Honest Swindler", Ellery is challenged to solve an imaginary riddle devised by three members of the Puzzle Club. He must explain how an old prospector could have spent five years on a fruitless uranium hunt and still have returned every penny of his backers' money.
