Synopsis: The daughter of a steel magnate disappears, and Nero and Archie must forge ahead with an investigation in this new mystery from the award–winning author. Archie Goodwin&’s very good friend, Lily Rowan, spends much of her time—and considerable financial resources—helping women in need, from underpaid workers to mistreated wives. But at the moment she&’s particularly concerned about one woman: her best friend, Maureen, a beautiful socialite who&’s been incommunicado for two weeks. After Archie helps Lily comb through Maureen&’s deserted Park Avenue penthouse, and Lily contacts each of her friend&’s well-heeled suitors, they still don&’t know much more than when they started. Then Archie tries to track down Maureen&’s estranged half-brother, but he seems to have vanished as well. Fortunately, Archie&’s employer, Nero Wolfe, has a soft spot for Lily. He volunteers to step in—just in time, too, as this missing-person case soon becomes a murder case . . . &“[Wolfe is] one of the two or three most beloved detectives in fiction.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Goldsborough has all of the late writer&’s stylistic mannerisms down pat.&” —The New York Times
