HTML:When a group of publishers and writers hires Wolfe to solve a case of false plagiarism, it's time for the great detective to hit the books. Four unrelated accusers??including a down-and-out hack writer and a lady poet with a penchant for nude sunbathing??have been fleecing bestselling authors, claiming the authors have stolen their work and ingeniously planting evidence to back up their claims. But when punctuation gives way to puncture, Wolfe knows this is no simple case of extortion. This time he'll need all the critical skills at his disposal to close the book on a killer well versed on the ABCs of murder.

??It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.???The New York Times Book Review
A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America??s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained??and puzzled??millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable ma… (altro)
3.5* Nero Wolfe investigates a case involving claims of plagarism and, of course, soon afterwards murder occurs. Towards the end, Archie gives some Ellery Queen type statements which (just as in the Ellery Queen books) made me feel dumb. If you are unfamiliar with Ellery Queen, he generally says in the second to last chapter that the reader has all the clues now and should be as able as Queen himself to identify the murderer. While I don't seem to mind when Wolfe (or Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot) say something like that and I can't see their point, it does bother me when Archie says it! ( )
Now *that's* a Nero Wolfe novel. Plagiarism and murder! He really lays into the publishing industry, too, and it's great fun. Probably in my top 5 Wolfe stories.
A group of authors and publishers band together to employ Wolfe to stop a plagiarism scam that has plagued them in the past few years, but was not really understood until just recently. A fun read, if only for the constant, eternaly balance between emenity and need that exists between those who write and those who publish. Fun but not very deep. ( )
