Nero Wolfe has gone into hiding!
It's a battle of the fittest as Nero is forced to take steps to deal with Mr. X when their paths cross again. What started out as a simple investigation turned into Archie's worst nightmare when Nero Wolfe runs off in the middle of the night. Not only does Archie not have the faintest idea where Nero is hiding or what his plans are—no one will believe him! Not the police, not his friends, or even his closest allies.
A silent war that will decide who gets to survive is on!
Built up slowly over several books, we now get the face-off of the century between two grand intellects. A twisted and wonderful tale.
