Three witnesses hold all the clues in three crimes of passion that have even Nero Wolfe guessing to the very end.
Did the dead millionaire who suddenly came back to lifeāonly to end up dead againāwrite his own death warrant years before? Will the black Labrador retriever who follows Archie home prove that manās best friend is a killerās worst enemy? And in a case involving a telephone answering service with three very untalkative operators, could the great detective himself be the witness who will save an innocent man from the chair?
