The Beyonders were shapes in the forests who bribed and promised, and only a few men knew that when the Beyonders came in their full strength they would not be stopped. But before they could conquer Earth, they had to rule one hamlet, and the folk there had been hunters and riflemen for as many generations as they had lived in the mountains. Views: 48
Product DescriptionA private club is the setting for murder when Paul Jerim, playing chess with twelve opponents, is poisoned. When her father is accused of the murder, beautiful Sally Blount calls on gourmet detective Nero Wolfe to find the real killer. From AudioFileThe great detective swallows his usual distaste for female clients by undertaking a case from Sally Blount, whose father is suspected of killing a chess opponent at the Gambit Club, by arsenic poisoning. Nero Wolfe, aided by his wisecracking legman, Archie Goodwin, turns up four other suspects, though one of them is eliminated by death. It's all enough to put Wolfe off his passion for food and orchids. Not for long. Wolfe solves the case with an ingenious gambit of his own. While this is second-tier Nero Wolfe overall, the masterful Michael Prichard gives his all, raising the audio to a tier-one selection.
