Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe Mysteries seriesNext:Silver Spire(1992) →

Whether it's a case of soda or a case of industrial espionage, soft drinks have never been Nero Wolfe's cup of tea. So only with great reluctance—and considerable prodding from Archie Goodwin—does the legendary sleuth agree to investigate the apparent theft of ad campaigns for Cherr-o-key cola. Stealing soon turns to murder as a young executive lies bludgeoned to death in his trendy Greenwich Village apartment, the carpet stained darker than cherry cola. Now Nero Wolfe is back in inaction—which means his faithful legman, Archie, is running in overdrive—to find a killer before someone else in the fizz biz gets popped. (Publisher's description)
