Story Synopsis:
One of Stout's best thrillers! Nero Wolfe
is hired to take on the FBI, and receives covert support from
Inspector Cramer,
who believes the feds committed murder in his town. Cramer secretly meets
Archie Goodwin at a shabby hotel
to warn Wolfe that the FBI plans to revoke his investigator's license; he even brings along milk for
Archie. Wolfe breaks his rigid orchid schedule and leaves home on business to stage the most outlandish
coup of his career. After making the FBI call uncle, Wolfe refuses to let their Director enter the
brownstone, letting him ring the doorbell.
