Description
When a notorious womanizer is found dead, Nero Wolfe is drawn into a case crowded with secret affairs, dangerous entanglements, and more potential clients—and suspects—than any investigation should require. While Archie Goodwin handles the legwork among Manhattan’s shifting cast of lovers, lawyers, and frightened witnesses, Wolfe brings his formidable intellect and imperious methods to a mystery shaped by desire, deception, and competing loyalties. Set largely within the carefully ordered world of the brownstone, the novel explores power, contracts, reputation, and the uneasy bargains people make to protect themselves. Rex Stout’s trademark wit, elegant dialogue, and richly contrasting partnership between Wolfe and Archie drive the story toward a striking and memorable confrontation.
