Nero Wolfe's client is murdered and Wolfe, knowing crime lord is involved, disappears. Archie carries on and they triumph over crime lord and solve original murder. One of my favorite by Stout as it shows Wolfe and Archie out of their normal element. Wolfe, the detective who never leaves his house, disappears in the face of threats from some kind of mafia boss. Archie is, as ever, the stalwart trusty sidekick, who presses on despite feeling abandoned by Wolfe. His devotion and the lengths that Wolfe goes to to try to resolve things is truly remarkable. Archie's narration is filled with humor and his borderline transgressive attitude with the clients and the authorities makes this into a fun-filled romp. Archie shows us what it means to "not suffer fools." The final book involving Arnold Zeck. It was nice to see a brief reappearance of Lily Rowan in this book. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
