Synopsis of The Battered Badge<\/h5>\n

In The Battered Badge, when wealthy and popular crusader and reformer Lester Pierce is gunned down in front of his Park Avenue residence, the public outcry forces the NYPD to restructure its homicide department. As the deceased was highly critical of Inspector Lionel Cramer, the longtime head of homicide is temporarily relieved of his badge. But it seems Cramer was not just a scapegoat: He was seen dining in Little Italy with mob kingpin Ralph Mars.<\/p>\n

All of which amounts to little more than conversational fodder for PI Nero Wolfe<\/a> and his assistant Archie Goodwin. But if Cramer\u2019s provisional replacement, Capt. George Rowcliff, becomes permanent, Wolfe\u2019s future dealings with the force will be much compromised. Loath to depart from his routine, Wolfe makes the unusual decision to take on a case without an actual client.<\/p>\n

His investigation quickly points toward Pierce\u2019s organization, Good Government Group, where high-minded idealism is often trampled under the competing ambitions of the staff\u2014several of whom would clearly have benefited from Pierce\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n

Despite the burgeoning list of suspects, Wolfe hasn\u2019t ruled out the involvement of the underworld and its connection to Cramer. But in order to untangle an abundance of motives and end the inspector\u2019s forced furlough, Wolfe may have to venture out of his comfort zone\u2014and the premises of his brownstone.<\/p>\n
