Ellery Queen was really two people.

you are of course correct!!

from Wiki..

Ellery Queen is both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn, New York - Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (October 20, 1905 – September 3, 1982[1]) and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (January 11, 1905 – April 3, 1971[2]) - to write, edit, and anthologize detective fiction.[3] The fictional Ellery Queen created by Dannay and Lee is a mystery writer and amateur detective who helps his father, a New York City police inspector, solve baffling murders.

I have to say I am a bit dissapointed with the 5th Odd Thomas book- it seems more like a haunted house novella stretched into a novel- writing is great (this IS Dean Koontz) yet darker and far less enjoyable then previous Odd Thomas books- entire book takes place in one location - and there are about 4 characters
