Synopsis of Death of a Dude<\/h3>\n

In Death of a Dude, while on vacation at Lily Rowan’s Montana beef ranch, Archie Goodwin becomes involved in a murder investigation.<\/p>\n

Harvey Greve, the ranch manager, has been accused of the murder of Philip Brodell, a wealthy “dude” on vacation at a neighbouring ranch.<\/p>\n

The previous year, Brodell had seduced and impregnated Greve’s daughter, and Greve had swore revenge. However both Archie and Lily are skeptical of his guilt.<\/p>\n

Brodell was shot twice, once in the back, by an inexpert marksman. As well as Greve being an excellent shot, Archie is convinced that he is too honorable to shoot an unarmed opponent in the back.<\/p>\n

However, the local sheriff, Morley Haight, has only lazily investigated the murder before settling on Greve’s guilt in large part due to a bitter grudge between the two.<\/p>\n

Archie Archie decides to carry out his own investigations so he writes to Nero Wolfe<\/a> informing him that he will be taking an extended leave while he tries to clear Greve’s name.<\/p>\n

Wolfe uses a high-ranking contact in the Montana state government to research the case before taking the almost unprecedented step of leaving his home to consult with Archie in person.<\/p>\n

Convinced by Archie’s argument, Wolfe decides to solve the case to enable Archie and himself to return to New York.<\/p>\n

He stays at Lily’s ranch along Archie and her other guests. Diana Kadany, an actress friend of Lily’s, and Wade Worthy, an author writing a biography of Lily’s father.<\/p>\n
