Death Times Three
Murder strikes thrice in these three baffling mysteries of crime  and detection.  First the great detective develops an appetite for the  sweet taste of revenge when someone slips something most foul into his  lunch--in a case motivated by the most "alimentary" of passions.  Then  a couturier's beautiful sister uses Archie as her ready-made alibi--and  maybe fall guy--unless Wolfe can spot the loose ends in a nearly  seamless crime.  Finally Wolfe has a run-in with the law after a  mysterious old woman leaves a package at the detective's West  Thirty-Fifth Street brownstone that pits him against a cunning  criminal--and the U.S. federal government!
