description: The U.S. army wants Nero Wolfe urgently but the arrogant gourmandizing sedentary sleuth refuses the call to duty. It takes his perambulatory confidential assistant Archie Goodwin to titillate Wolfe's taste for crime with two malevolent morsels: a corpse that won't rest in peace and a sinister accident involving national security. So as Goodwin lays the bait on the wrong side of the law Wolfe sets the traps to catch a pair of wily killers.It's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.
