Rachel Bruner is wealthy so when she reads a book she likes, she buys ten thousand copies and sends one to everyone she knows... and then some. That wouldn't bring her to the door of Nero Wolfe except that the book disparaged the FBI and now they are on her doorstep. And monitoring her phone line. And following her friends, family, and staff. So she's come to retain the great detective to get the FBI off her back. Normally Wolfe wouldn't be interested but it's the start of a new ear and his coffers are empty. And Mrs. Bruner is offering enough to more or less make it through the whole year. But can Nero Wolfe really stop an entire government group?
Well, eventually, yes. And he'll solve a murder along the way.
This was an okay story but not particularly gripping. Was great for data entry.
