About this listen

Mystery fans will devour this entry into the classic wisecracking Nero Wolfe series, in which Wolfe must track down a dangerous gunman - or risk losing his right-hand man.

Archie Goodwin is chipper as he strolls home from his weekly poker game, money in his pocket and a smile on his lips. He has just reached Nero Wolfe’s stately brownstone on West 35th Street when a sedan whips around the corner and two gunshots ring out, nearly hitting Goodwin. It is a warning, and the message is clear: The next bullet will not miss.

Rotund investigator Nero Wolfe has made more than his fair share of enemies over the years, and it seems one of them has decided to strike, targeting Wolfe’s indefatigable assistant. Some might run for cover, but Archie Goodwin is not the type. With the help of Wolfe’s brainpower, Goodwin will find the man who wants him dead - unless the killer gets to Goodwin first.

Nero Award-winning author Robert Goldsborough continues the brilliant work of Rex Stout in this classic mystery series. According to Publishers Weekly, “Goldsborough cleverly captures the tone and language of the originals. Rex Stout fans can only hope he has no plans to wind up the series soon”.

Always Enjoyable

A lovely, complicated tale which sees Archie at his most vulnerable - yet still able to Coe up with witty one-liners.

Lots of unused words thrown in which took me back to my younger days. (In my opinion, I think Nero is more urbane than Archie ;o) ).

Lots of characters who are hard to warm up to. This tale doesn’t have the depth of some of its predecessors and the main guests are forgettable.

However our usual cast are as good as ever (I do hope that we hear the story of Archie and the Bull). An enjoyable & comfortable read. Once again, great narration from L. J. Ganser.

Very enjoyable!!

This was my 4th in a row Nero Wolfe mystery, and I plan to hear them all!! I truly love the narrator Mr. Ganser. Excellent and very distinct narration of each character.
