To save his favorite magazine, Wolfe steps into the crossfire of the tabloid war. Master sleuth Nero Wolfe's small circle of friends is bound to his assistant, Archie Goodwin; his chef, Fritz; and Lon Cohen, the top man at the New York Gazette. Cohen recognizes more about the city's power composition than any man in Manhattan, and for a long time he happily approved Wolfe information in substitution for the unusual exclusive scoop. But now Cohen needs Wolfe's help, for the Gazette is ailing and the vultures have started to circle. Scottish magazine magnate Ian MacLaren programs to gut the paper and turn it into a sex-filled conventional rag. Position in his way is the business's chief shareholder, Gazette heir Harriet Haverhill. But when the aged Ms. Haverhill dies in an apparent suicide, no one remains to avoid the Scot's advances except Wolfe. MacLaren may be fierce, but when what causes it is just, Nero Wolfe recognizes how to play soiled, too.
