Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin are tasked with protecting the most hated columnist in New York City There are few people Nero Wolfe respects, and Lon Cohen of the "New York Gazette" is one of them. So when Cohen asks for a favor, the famously brilliant and notoriously lazy detective is inclined to listen. According to Cohen, someone wants to kill the "Gazette" s gossip columnist, Cameron Clay. Death threats are a regular hazard for Clay, who s hurled insults and accusations at every bold-faced name in the five boroughs. But the latest threats have carried a more sinister tone. The columnist has narrowed his potential killers down to five people: an egomaniacal developer, a disgraced cop, a corrupt councilman, a sleazy lawyer, and his ex-wife. But when Clay turns up dead, the cops deem it a suicide. The bigwigs at the "Gazette" don t agree, so they retain Wolfe and his indefatigable assistant, Archie Goodwin, to figure out which of the suspects had the mettle to pull the trigger."
