Nero Wolfe and The Smugglers Code

Описание: Nero Wolfe and The Smugglers Code | A Nero Wolfe Story

When a widow's simple request for maritime documents leads to murder on the fog-shrouded docks of 1950s Manhattan, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin uncover a smuggling network that reaches from Nazi gold to the highest echelons of New York society.
On a misty Saturday night, wise-cracking detective Archie Goodwin walks into a dockside office to retrieve papers for a client—and stumbles upon a fresh corpse and a mysterious coded document. Within hours, the brownstone on West 35th Street becomes a fortress under siege as killers, federal agents, and desperate conspirators converge, all seeking the Smuggler's Code.
The code itself is elegant and deadly: a cipher system that documents seven years of criminal operations through New York's ports. Hidden within its symbols are shipping routes for contraband, escape routes for war criminals, and enough blackmail material to topple fortunes and destroy reputations. As bodies pile up across Manhattan—from a federal judge's study to a shipping magnate's warehouse—Wolfe must decode not just the cipher, but the human greed and betrayal it represents.
With Inspector Cramer breathing down his neck, federal agents demanding cooperation, and a notorious SS officer orchestrating murders from the shadows, Wolfe employs his legendary intellect while never leaving his custom-built chair. Protected by his five imposing Dobermans—Minerva, Mars, Apollo, Diana, and Caesar—and aided by the streetwise Archie, Wolfe orchestrates an elaborate trap that will either capture the killers or make him their next victim.
