Barnaby Ross - Definition

Barnaby Ross is a pseudonym for the same writing team of two cousins that also wrote the Ellery Queen mysteries. Frederick Dannay and Manfred B. Lee wrote four novels under the Barnaby Ross byline about a Shakespearian actor/detective named Drury Lane. They were later reiussed under the Ellery Queen byline.

For a while in the 1930s "Ellery Queen" and "Barnaby Ross" staged a series of public debates in which one cousin impersonated Queen and the other impersonated Ross.
