With a rich man footing the bills and a handsome lover on the side, Isabel Kerr seemed to have the perfect setup. Now the well-kept lady is stone-cold dead, and the cops have nabbed a Manhattan private eye who just happens to be an acquaintance of Nero Wolfe. Unable to refuse a friend in need, the great detective deigns to get the gumshoe off the hook. Little does Wolfe realize that in a matter of hours hell be entertaining a party of fools and lovers connected with the doxys death, including a mystery blackmailer, a sexy lounge singer, and a cold-blooded lady-killer.Introduction by Sandra West ProwellIt is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery.
