The nineteenth Nero Wolfe novel by Rex Stout, published in 1956.Omaha businessman James R. Herold hires Wolfe to find his son Paul, who left for New York after being accused of theft; Herold has discovered that Paul was innocent and wishes to reestablish him as a member of the family. Suspecting Paul has taken an alias but kept his initials, Wolfe inserts an advertisment in the paper assuring "P.H." of his innocence. The ad attracts the attention of attorney Albert Freyer, representing one Peter Hays on a murder charge; although initially dismissive of a photograph's resemblance, Wolfe and Archie reconsider. At the courthouse, Archie sees Hays for the first time and concludes he is Paul Herold; unfortunately, he reaches this conclusion at the moment Hays is declared guilty of slaying Michael M. Molloy. With an imprisoned son an unsatisfactory result for Wolfe, he resolves to find the murderer. Along the way, he must face the loss of someone he has known for years, while Molloy's murderer, facing exposure, attacks again and again in an attempt to eliminate all who can reveal the truth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |
