The Black Mountain a Nero Wolfe Novel

That sheer genius, Nero Wolfe, has no peer when it comes to detection--or to eccentricity. Dedicated to his prize-winning orchids and gourmet meals, he is famous for conducting business from his cozy study. But now the cold-blooded killing of his closest friend enrages him into leaving not only his home, but his country as well. Together with his confidential assistant, Archie Goodwin, Wolfe begins the most dangerous adventure of his career in an exotic land where his life will depend on a false passport, a knapsack filled with chocolate bars, and a razor-sharp knife.
