Description
When Archie Goodwin agrees to attend an exclusive New York charity gathering at the request of an acquaintance, he finds himself among wealthy socialites, eligible bachelors, and a group of unmarried mothers seeking a night of escape. The festive atmosphere turns sinister when one guest dies after drinking champagne, and Archie must investigate a murder committed in a room crowded with potential suspects. With Nero Wolfe directing the inquiry from behind the scenes, the case unfolds through sharp observation, psychological insight, and a series of perfectly timed deductions. Witty, urbane, and briskly paced, this classic mystery explores appearances, social privilege, loneliness, and the dangerous secrets concealed beneath polite society.
