When a powerful government official turns up dead, the great Nero Wolfe takes notice. On the edge of financial ruin, the orchid-loving detective grudgingly accepts the case. Soon another victim is found, a stenographer's tape disappears, and the dead man speaks -- after a fashion. As the business world clamors for a solution, Wolfe patiently lays a trap.Rex Stout is the author of 'The Silent Speaker (Nero Wolfe)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780553234978 and ISBN 0553234978.
