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

The twelfth in our Nero Wolfe mystery series. While Wolfe is investigating the boyfriend of a millionaire's daughter, a powerful gangland boss "counsels" him to drop the matter: machine gun fire rips through the windows of his orchid room, mangling his beloved orchids. Then the boyfriend turns up dead, and Archie becomes the #1 suspect. Wolfe must quickly solve one murder in order to prevent another: his own!

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.
