Publisher Description

“Nero Wolfe towers over his rivals. . . . He is an exceptional character creation.”—New Yorker

What do a Wild West lynching and a respected English nobleman have in common? On the surface, absolutely nothing. But when a young woman hires his services, it becomes Nero Wolfe’s job to look deeper and find the connection. A forty-year-old pact, a five-thousand-mile search, and a million-dollar murder are all linked to an international scandal that could rebound on the great detective and his partner, Archie, with fatal abruptness.

“It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.”—The New York Times Book Review

A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America’s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained—and puzzled—millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.

Excellent story, lovely wording, humorous scenes

Wow - loved this one! Truly brilliant and memorable! Going to give copies as gifts!

Great Wolfe, Lousy Proof-reading.

This is one of the best of the series, and I am not fussy, but $12.95 is a lot to pay for an embarrassingly poor OCR job. It is actually hard to follow the story, it is so bad in places. Save your money and buy a readily-available used copy of the paperback edition... for a dollar.
