Nero Wolfe and The Dead Investor

Описание: Nero Wolfe and The Dead Investor | A Nero Wolfe Story

When a desperate investor seeks help from the legendary Nero Wolfe, the eccentric detective turns him away. Three hours later, the man is dead—murdered and dumped in the East River. Now Wolfe and his sharp-witted assistant Archie Goodwin are pulled into a deadly web of Wall Street greed, sophisticated fraud, and cold-blooded murder.
Bernard Lattimore arrives at the brownstone on West 35th Street with death threats in his briefcase and fear in his eyes. Someone has embezzled seventeen million dollars from his investment fund, framed him for the crime, and promised to kill him if he doesn't "make it right." But Nero Wolfe, the brilliant, orchid-obsessed detective who never leaves his fortress-like home, finds financial fraud boring and dismisses the case.
It's a decision that will haunt him.
When Lattimore's body is discovered that same evening—shot twice and disposed of with clinical precision—Wolfe realizes he's turned away a man who desperately needed protection. Now, driven by guilt and intellectual fury, Wolfe must untangle a conspiracy that spans embezzlement, blackmail, arson, and multiple murders.
Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's irreverent assistant and the story's razor-sharp narrator, hits the streets of New York—from gleaming Wall Street towers to shadowy Red Hook warehouses—interviewing suspects, dodging threats, and gathering the pieces of an increasingly complex puzzle. There's Ellen Draycott, Lattimore's beautiful and bitter business partner, who publicly accused him of theft hours before his death. Phillip Renshaw, the IT director with the technical expertise to pull off sophisticated fraud. Cynthia Lattimore, the unhappy trophy wife who stands to inherit—or lose—everything. Raymond Keller, a vengeful client who threatened to destroy Lattimore's reputation. And Gerald Hutchins, the forensic accountant hired to investigate the embezzlement, who seems almost too helpful.
