REMOTE - CONTROL MURDER
Barstow dropped dead on the golf course - heart attack, said his doctor . . . his family . . . and the police.
But Nero Wolfe looked at a cutup newspaper and some steamship tags . . . and called it murder - a unique and incredibly complex murder!
A wild guess? Not when Wolfe bet his last $10,000 that he was right!
WOLFE HAD THE KILLER SCARED
He had two "perfect" killings to his credit - but Nero Wolfe, never stirring from his old New York brownstone, had been able to tell the police how they had been done, and where they'd find the evidence.
The next step would be for Wolfe to tell them who - and the murderer meant to see that Nero was very, very dead before he got the chance.
Wolfe never left home . . . so the killer had to trap him there. And he set the trap with a fantastic bait . . . a drawer filled with beer-bottle caps! |
