Wolfe<\/a> steps into the crossfire of a tabloid war<\/p>\nMaster sleuth Nero Wolfe\u2019s small circle of friends is limited to his assistant Archie Goodwin, his chef Fritz, and Lon Cohen, the head man at the “New York Gazette”. Cohen knows more about the city\u2019s power structure than any man in Manhattan, and for years he happily passed Wolfe information in return for the odd exclusive scoop. But now Cohen needs Wolfe\u2019s help, for the “Gazette” is ailing and the vultures have begun to circle.<\/p>\n
Scottish newspaper magnate Ian MacLaren plans to gut the paper and turn it into a sex-filled conservative rag. Standing in his way is the company\u2019s chief shareholder,” Gazette” heir Harriet Haverhill. But when the aged Ms. Haverhill dies in an apparent suicide, no one remains to resist the Scot\u2019s advances except Wolfe. MacLaren may be fierce, but when the cause is just, Nero Wolfe knows how to play dirty, too.<\/p>\n
