Synopsis

An automobile breakdown strands Nero Wolfe and Archie in the middle of a private pasture—and a family feud over a prize bull. A restaurateur’s plan to buy the stud and barbecue it as a publicity stunt may be in poor taste, but it isn’t a crime . . . until Hickory Caesar Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, is found pawing the remains of a family scion. Wolfe is sure the idea that Caesar is the murderer is, well, pure bull. Now the great detective is on the horns of a dilemma as a veritable stampede of suspects—including a young lady Archie has his eye on—conceals a special breed of killer who wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity.

“It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.”—The New York Times Book Review
 
A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America’s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained—and puzzled—millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.

About The Author

Goodreads review by Gary on April 08, 2017

The 6th book in the Nero Wolfe series by Rex Stout is one of the best. Wolfe is out of his beloved Brownstown to show his orchids. On the way the car, driven by Archie, has a blowout and hits a tree. This sets up one of the funniest scenes in the entire series as the two set off across a pasture to......more

4 Stars. It was missing something. I wasn't as engaged with Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin as in some of the great early volumes in the series. Until Archie went to jail. He had discovered a body under the hay in a cow stall at the local fair, and wanted to consult with Wolfe before talking to the Sh......more
