Publisher Description

Nero Wolfe's last recorded case! Wolfe never works without a well-heeled client and a sizable fee, but when a bomb racks his brownstone, killing his favorite waiter from his favorite restaurant, the world's greatest gourmet takes it as a personal affront. What kind of unsavory killer commits murder within ten feet of a legendary detective? It's a question Wolfe will go to heroic lengths to answer. But even as he and Archie uncover an unappetizing brew of conspiracy and lies, the killer serves up a second helping of homicide and Wolfe is left to face a most unpalatable truth. "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore."—New York Times Book Review

    " I hadn't read any Rex Stout in a while, and I'd forgotten what a pleasure he is to read. I think I'll read my way through all of the Nero Wolfe novels this year. "

    " It had some snappy dialogue, but I just couldn't get into it that much. Main characters had personality, but the others were flat. Not sure if I want to try another one by the same author. "

    " I always wanted to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The writing was tongue in cheek--I found the character of Archie Goodwin to be very funny. The settings and current affairs were vintage 70s. That seems so old now but fun to listen to. "
