Yeah, Ellery Queen was the first non-person I thought of after reading the title. Today’s culture is so into identity politics authors should just do multiple layered pen names and completely cover their potential readership base from every conceivable gender fluid angle.

—”(Ellery was only two guys, though).”

How about a group of 24 writers?

“Naked Came the Stranger is a 1969 novel written as a literary hoax poking fun at the American literary culture of its time. Though credited to “Penelope Ashe,” it was in fact written by a group of twenty-four journalists led by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady.
McGrady’s intention was to write a book that was both deliberately terrible and contained a lot of descriptions of sex, to illustrate the point that popular American literary culture had become mindlessly vulgar. The book fulfilled the authors’ expectations and became a bestseller in 1969; they revealed the hoax later that year, further spurring the book’s popularity.

Clifford Irving?

There are many and not even thinking about the daily news.
