Playboy Sparky Linville has a nasty notion of fun and games. But when
he picks popular Noreen James as
his unwilling playmate, the result is
murder--and a case that will rock
Manhattans trendy Upper East Side
and divide the family of Lily Rowan,
Moreen's aunt.
As furor rages in the local press and
the police fix their attention on her
relatives, Lily turns to her old friend and
confidant Archie Goodwin for help,
hoping he can convey the seriousness
of the family's plight to his eminent
employer, Nero Wolfe.
Note that date rape is mentioned and discussed but not graphically.
