Publisher's Summary

There are few people Nero Wolfe respects, and Lon Cohen of the New York Gazette is one of them. So when Cohen asks for a favor, Wolfe is inclined to listen.

According to Cohen, someone wants to kill the Gazette's gossip columnist, Cameron Clay. Death threats are a regular hazard for Clay, who's hurled insults and accusations at every bold-faced name in the five boroughs. But the latest threats have carried a more sinister tone. The columnist has narrowed his potential killers down to five people.

When Clay turns up dead, the cops deem it a suicide. The bigwigs at the Gazette don't agree, so they retain Wolfe to figure out which of the suspects had the mettle to pull the trigger.

3rd edit of review

really tough to adapt to the change in narrator. kinda elderly sounding and slow for my ears. also a bit inconsistent with the characters. i speeded up the playback a titch and that helped

if I had heard this narrator initially for the Goldsborough books, I wouldn't have listened to any more of them. I would have chosen to read them. having said that, I can imagine listening with pleasure to this narrator for other, cozier style books.

I don't know what I think of the story. I'll have to read it. listening to it, it doesn't seem even close to a Nero Wolfe story. wish I hadn't used a credit.
