The loyal legions of Nero Wolfe fans (as well as the fans of his many erudite sidekicks and companions) will find continued enthusiasm for this exciting title in the long-running detective series. It also features a bonus story, "Out of the Line," never before published. New York's swanky Lamartine Hotel is the setting for this spunky tale of an attractive telegrapher and the precarious situation she finds herself placed at the center of by overeager suitors -- possibly corruptors. Luckily, the innocent Lila Williams, coveted by a member of an unlikely group of "knights" finds herself swept off her feet and into protection and rescue, or is that destruction?
