Summary: Can Wolfe Steal Home before Goodwin & Hennesy Knock a Homer?
Review: Nero Wolfe ventures out of his brownstone to watch the seventh game of the World Series. The home team loses when four of their stars are drugged and a fifth one is brained. The owner calls in Wolfe to solve the mystery. Inspector Hennesy launches off on one avenue of investigation as Archie Goodwin pursues another. Wolfe sits placidly eating ballpark sandwiches and swilling down lukewarm beer. Hennesy and Goodwin employ classic gumshoe methods while Wolfe carefully hoards one little fact, waiting for the opportune moment to spring it and solve the case. Wolfe knows the identity of the culprit from the very outset, but has no evidence. Can Hennesy and Goodwin discover the evidence and identify the killer before Wolfe can engineer a dramatic "unveiling?" The answer might surprise you.
