Description
When a frightened waiter from Rusterman’s Restaurant arrives at Nero Wolfe’s brownstone claiming that someone intends to kill him, Archie Goodwin and Wolfe are drawn into a case that quickly threatens both their clients and their own secluded world. As the investigation widens, it touches on political intrigue, betrayal, and the turbulent anxieties of 1970s America, bringing danger unsettlingly close to the brownstone’s familiar occupants. The final Nero Wolfe novel is an atmospheric, explosive, and deeply satisfying coda to one of crime fiction’s most celebrated series, combining Rex Stout’s trademark wit and deduction with a darker, more reflective tone.
