One by one, three new clients knock on Nero Wolfe's door, each with a case more perplexing than the one before. First comes the niece of a man who jumped naked into a geyser -- suicide. Then a murder victim's family arrives, covering for the real killer while a chef -- the accused -- stews in jail. Finally arrives a horticulturist who found his girlfriend dead and chilling in a hothouse.
They've come to the right place: at Wolfe's West 35th street office, murder always feels at home.
"The Master of Detection meets his match...Wolfe masterfully untangles a mess of mixed motives." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
