Sometimes - Ellery Queen as a character changed a lot over the years. He often uses his father’s police connection only for information like criminal background, fingerprints, etc. and Inspector Queen often makes the arrest at the end. In A Close Call for Ellery Queen Ellery is personally consulted for a blackmail/kidnapping case.
