When a maestro is murdered, Archie is flabber-
gasted when the gargantuan gourmet detective lifts
himself out of retirement. Amid a juicy public scan-
dal, Wolfe and Archie feast on suspects yet starve
for facts—until the scanty clues finally arrange
themselves like notes on a score, and Wolfe
recognizes a dark melody that only a murder
virtuoso could perform.

"Mr. Goldsborough has ail of the late writers stylistic manner-
isms down pat It is fun once again to enter the brownstone
on West 35th Street, vicariously taste Fritz Brenner's cooking,

a mistake at this point in the game. Of course, he doesn't in
