As a favor for his oldest friend Marko Vukcic, Nero Wolfe takes the case of
Virgil Pompa, a chef who traded his genius for a high-paying job as the supervisor
of a restaurant chain. He is in jail, charged with murder. Archie begins the story
with the statement, "In my opinion it was one of Nero Wolfe's neatest jobs,
and he never got a nickel for it."
