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

"Rex Stout, through the voice of Archie telling us about his world (a full third of which was occupied by Nero Wolfe), raised detective fiction to the level of art with these books. He gave us genius of at least two kinds, and a strong realist voice that was shot through with hope." --Walter Mosley

"Nero Wolfe, the fat detective of Rex Stout's novels, towers over his rivals ... he is an exceptional character creation." --The New Yorker

Archie, Nero Wolfe's assistant, goes undercover to investigate a murder at a Wall Street firm. He is assigned an insider role in the stock department where he discovers a pleasurable fringe benefit: hundreds of women work there and they all seem interested in cooperating. The chief suspect is found murdered under circumstances identical to the first, but everyone's alibi is air-tight. So Archie and Wolfe decide to set a trap -- which woman will fall into it? A Classic Nero Wolfe Mystery. Complete and Unabridged.

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