STOUT - Death of a Doxy

aEN0048



The only man who has ever given Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin any

real trouble is Rex Stout himself. In this, his latest full-length

novel, Stout sets before his famous detecting pair a seemingly

insoluble problem. Orrie Cather, one of Nero Wolfe's occasional

employees, is in jail, suspected of murdering a lovely young thing.

The lovely young thing has been the well-kept possession of a certain

wealthy and influential man who has reasons for not wishing his name

dragged into the case. The wealthy man offers to share his wealth with

Nero - providing Nero will keep his name from ever being connected

with the murder. Nero, at the same time, must get Orrie out of jail.

He could easily do this by using his client's name. It seems

impossible to do it otherwise. Problem: How does Nero get Orrie out of

jail? How does he keep his client's name out of the press? And how

does he find the true murderer? He does it with the avid and skilled

assistance of one Julie Jaquette, a swinging songstress from The Ten

Little Indians. That, at least partly, is how he does it...
