Description
When a Balkan beauty turns to Nero Wolfe for help over missing diamonds, the case takes a deadly turn after a student at her fencing school is found murdered. As Wolfe investigates, the trail leads through an intricate world of international intrigue, espionage, divided loyalties, and a woman whose connection to him is more personal than expected. With Archie Goodwin handling the legwork and Wolfe applying his formidable intellect from the comfort of home, Rex Stout delivers a sharply plotted mystery filled with wit, tension, and classic detective brilliance.
