DescriptionAn art hoarders suspicious death paints a nasty picture for Nero Wolfe. No matter how fabulously hes being courted, infamously dour art hog Arthur Wordell isnt keen on favoring the new Guggenheim Museum with his extensive collection. Even at the urging of his beloved daughter, Nadia. Then, the night after the museums f te, Arthur takes a twenty-story plunge from the window of his Times Square office. Nadia thinks its no mere coincidence. Eccentric, yes. Suicidal, no. Private investigator Nero Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, agree. Especially after eyeballing Arthurs enemies and sycophants, including his ex-wife, a covetous curator, a troika of obsequious advisors, and an outr Greenwich Village artist anxious to see her work out of storage and on the walls of the Guggie. For Wolfe, theres a problem: Arthur didnt leave a will. Without a beneficiary not a soul in Arthurs circle is set to benefit from his death. Nor do they show any customary indication of guilt. If anybody can solve a seemingly unsolvable masterpiece of murder, its Wolfe. Unfortunately, this time, New Yorks artful investigator is, admittedly, stumped. Continuing the acclaimed series--which also includes The Battered Badge, Archie Meets Nero Wolfe, Murder in the Ball Park, Archie in the Crosshairs, and Murder, Stage Left--Nero Award-winning author Robert Goldsborough does a masterly job with the Wolfe legacy (Booklist).About the AuthorRobert Goldsborough (b. 1937) is an American author best known for continuing Rex Stouts famous Nero Wolfe series.
