The army wants Nero Wolfe urgently, but he refuses their clarion call to duty. It takes Archie Goodwin to titilate Wolfe's taste for crime with two malevolent morsels: a corpse that refuses to rest in peace and a sinister "accident" involving national security. It's up to the Grandiose Master himself, Nero Wolfe, to set the traps to catch a pair of wily killers as Archie lays the bait on the wrong side of the law.
