Death of an Art Collector: A Nero Wolfe Mystery (The Nero Wolfe Mysteries)

An art hoarderâ€™s suspicious death paints a nasty picture for Nero Wolfe.

No matter how fabulously heâ€™s being courted, infamously dour â€œart hogâ€ Arthur Wordell isnâ€™t keen on favoring the new Guggenheim Museum with his extensive collection. Even at the urging of his beloved daughter, Nadia. Then, the night after the museumâ€™s fÃªte, Arthur takes a twenty-story plunge from the window of his Times Square office. Nadia thinks itâ€™s no mere coincidence.
Â
Eccentric, yes. Suicidal, no. Private investigator Nero Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, agree. Especially after eyeballing Arthurâ€™s enemies and sycophants, including his ex-wife, a covetous curator, a troika of obsequious advisors, and an outrÃ© Greenwich Village artist anxious to see her work out of storage and on the walls of the â€œGuggie.â€
Â
For Wolfe, thereâ€™s a problem: Arthur didnâ€™t leave a will. Without a beneficiary not a soul in Arthurâ€™s circle is set to benefit from his death. Nor do they show any customary indication of guilt. If anybody can solve a seemingly unsolvable masterpiece of murder, itâ€™s Wolfe. Unfortunately, this time, New Yorkâ€™s artful investigator is, admittedly, stumped.
Â
Continuing the acclaimed seriesâ€”which also includesÂ The Battered Badge, Archie Meets Nero Wolfe,Â Murder in the Ball Park,Â Archie in the Crosshairs, andÂ Murder, Stage Leftâ€”Nero Awardâ€“winning author Robert Goldsborough â€œdoes a masterly job with the Wolfe legacyâ€ (Booklist).
