Synopsis of In the Best Families<\/h5>\n

In In the Best Families, the wealthy Sarah Rackham and her cousin Calvin Leeds, a breeder of Dobermans, go to Nero Wolfe<\/a> to investigate Sarah’s husband.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barry maintains an unusually luxurious lifestyle despite having no income or financial support from Sarah. <\/span><\/p>\n

The day after accepting the job, Wolfe receives a hidden tear gas pump as a sausage package. <\/span><\/p>\n

Arnold Zeck, a criminal genius in the shadow with whom he has already crossed before, warns Wolfe to abandon the case. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is clear that Barry Rackham is one of Zeck’s men, Wolfe orders Archie to investigate further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after arriving at Sarah’s estate, Archie discovers that she and her dog have been killed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Archie calls Wolfe with the news and returns to the city, suspecting that Barry or another person in Zeck’s organization may be responsible. <\/span><\/p>\n

When he arrives, however, he discovers that Nero Wolfe has disappeared overnight, leaving only instructions that Archie should not look for him and a newspaper ad announcing his retirement as a detective. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Westchester authorities refuse to believe that Archie does not know where Wolfe is, and imprison him as a material witness. <\/span><\/p>\n

While Archie is in jail, his cellmate, Max Christy, hints that he is part of Zeck’s organization and offers Archie work.<\/span><\/p>\n

After being released, Annabel Frey, Sarah’s daughter-in-law, hires Archie to investigate her murder, but her attempts soon stall. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the following months, as Wolfe seems unlikely to return, Archie opens his own detective agency. <\/span><\/p>\n

Again he is approached by Christy, who renews his job offer in the Zeck organization. Suspecting that Zeck is connected with Sarah’s murder, Archie accepts.<\/span><\/p>\n
