Although it's not the 1940's or 50's anymore, Archie Godwin, Nero Wolfe and all of the sidekicks and adversaries are in place and as brillantly portrayed as if Rex Stout had written the book himself.

Playboy Sparky Linville has a nasty notion of fun and games. But when he picks popular Noreen James as his unwilling playmate, the result is murder - amd a case that rocks Manhattan's trendy Upper East Side and divides the family of Lily Rowan, Noreen's aunt and Archie's long time friend. It takes some coaxing and the promise of a sizeable fee to get Wolfe to leave his greenhouse and orchids behind in order to ponder a killer of a coincendence.
