Description
When wealthy widow Rachel Bruner asks Nero Wolfe to stop the FBI from spying on and harassing her, the famously reclusive detective accepts a case that places him squarely against one of the nation’s most powerful institutions. As Wolfe and his trusted assistant Archie Goodwin investigate, they confront secrecy, intimidation, and the dangerous reach of government authority. Set against the charged political atmosphere of 1960s America, this witty mystery explores civil liberties, institutional power, and the courage required to challenge both. Rex Stout’s signature blend of sharp dialogue, intricate deduction, and memorable characters makes this a compelling entry in the Nero Wolfe series.
