"It is always a treat to [hear] a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." --The New York Times Book Review

This mystery from one of America's best-loved writers features one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time-Nero Wolfe. Wolfe is an orchid growing, gourmandizing, eccentric genius who solved this case with the able assistance of his legman, Archie Goodwin. It is told from Archie's viewpoint and with wry humor. A beautiful model's untimely death from a chocolate candy leads to the supreme insult of Nero Wolfe's career: another murder occurs in his own home. He must solve the case to save his pride.

Rex Stout (1886-1975) is dubbed the Grand Old Man of American Crime Fiction. During his lifetime, he published 72 Nero Wolfe mysteries; ten years after his death, a 73rd Nero Wolfe was discovered and published.

Michael Prichard has read over 330 audiobooks including bestsellers by Clive Cussler, John Irving and Tom Clancy. SmartMoney Magazine lists him as one of the Top Ten Golden Voices.
