Description
When vital documents disappear from a million-dollar perfume-company contest, Nero Wolfe is hired to recover them—and soon finds himself confronting a murder that turns a publicity scheme into a dangerous criminal investigation. With Archie Goodwin navigating a colorful cast of executives, contestants, and eccentric specialists, Wolfe applies his formidable intellect while employing methods that stretch—and sometimes ignore—the boundaries of the law. Rex Stout combines intricate detection with sharp social satire, sardonic wit, and lively character portrayals in this brisk, entertaining mystery.
