Description
For once, Nero Wolfe leaves the comfort of his New York brownstone to attend a flower show, where an extraordinary display of black orchids places him at the center of a deadly mystery. With Archie Goodwin at his side, Wolfe must navigate competing interests, hidden motives, and a case as rare and carefully cultivated as the flowers themselves. Blending sharp deduction, dry humor, and the distinctive partnership between the brilliant detective and his energetic aide, this novella showcases Rex Stout’s elegant, witty approach to classic mystery fiction.
