Description
When a bomb explodes in the office of a television-network executive, killing a staff member, the police face a baffling crime with no witnesses and few usable clues. The victim’s widow suspects one of her husband’s professional rivals, but proving murder—and identifying the bomber—requires the singular talents of Nero Wolfe and his resourceful investigator, Archie Goodwin. At the same time, Wolfe takes on a sensitive inquiry connected to a crisis-intervention center, drawing him into a case where professional rivalries, hidden motives, and human desperation intersect. With its intricate deduction, sharp dialogue, and characteristic blend of wit and suspense, the novel showcases Rex Stout’s celebrated detective partnership.
