Description
When a group of prominent authors and publishers is targeted by damaging plagiarism accusations, the famously sedentary detective Nero Wolfe is called in to uncover the truth. What begins as an investigation into literary fraud takes a darker turn when extortion escalates to murder, forcing Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin to navigate rivalries, hidden motives, and the competitive world of publishing. With sharp wit, intricate deductions, and a knowing look at the anxieties of authorship and reputation, this classic mystery showcases Rex Stout’s signature blend of sophisticated puzzle-solving and lively character-driven narration.
