Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained-and puzzled-millions of mystery fans around the world. The man has entered our folklore."-The New York Times Book Review A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America's greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. He never expected that between courses of haute cuisine he and Archie would be compelled to detect a killer with a poison touch-a killer preparing to serve the great detective his last supper. As guest of honor, Wolfe was lured from his brownstone to a posh southern spa to deliver the keynote address. But that's exactly what's on the menu at a five-star gathering of the world's greatest chefs. Everyone knows that too many cooks spoil the broth, but you'd hardly expect it to lead to murder. When the target for killing shifts to himself, the great detective must close this case quickly or his next meal may be his last. As Nero Wolfe prepares to speak at a gathering of the world's great chefs, one is found indelicately murdered.
