About This Book

A poisoned drink, a misplaced paragraph ... a pretty young corpse.

Hired to capture an ingenious plagiarizer, the great detective soon finds himself smack in the middle of a bloody murder mystery... a mystery that has the leading lights of New York's literary world terrorized.

Step into the unassuming Thirty-fifth Street brownstone, and join in the astounding exploits of Nero Wolfe. Marvel at his daily beer consumption, his unsurpassed appetite, the incredible expanse of his yellow silk pajamas. Bear witness to his unwavering, often infuriating addiction to fine foods, good books, beautiful orchids, and custom-made chairs. Empathize with his confidential assistant, Archie Goodwin, archetypal private eye and man of action, whose primary function is prodding his immense employer into motion. See for yourself why, through a hundred million copies and seventy-two cases, the adventures of America's largest private detective and his extended family continue to captivate and enthrall readers around the world. Discover Nero Wolfe--the greatest detective of them all.
