When the greatest chefs in the world gather for a meeting, Nero Wolfe is their honored dinner guest. It is a rare vacation for the gourmet sleuth - until a four-star killer serves a side dish of murder. Then the half-baked local law cooks up an unappetizing entree. Corpulent Wolfe and sidekick Archie begin mixing the ingredients for their inimitable souffle of detection and deduction, while the killer decides that Wolfe's prix should be permanently fixed...and that his last meal should be his just desserts. A landmark Wolfe mystery for the true fan.
'IIt's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.' (New York Times Book Review)
