It is better for me to die. Three on one chair. Stout R.

Niro Wolfe, a passionate collector of an orchid, a big gourmet, a beer lover and a great detective, almost never leaves the house. He unravels all crimes on the basis of the facts that Archie Goodwin collects, his charming, ironic assistant with excellent memory.

A businessman from Omakhi addresses Niro Wulf with a request to find his son, whom he once mistakenly accused of theft. The son in revenge broke all the ties with his family, changed his name and moved to New York. The only unreliable thread capable of helping in search is a congratulatory postcard sent by a missing son for his sister's birthday. Search leads to success, and everything would be fine if it were not for one, but: they find the missing person in a prison cell where he is sitting on charges of murder.

A new task is faced with Niro Wolf - to prove his innocence.

The novels, which compiled the collection "Three on one chair", once again show the reader with what brilliance the great detective reveals the most confusing and seemingly hopeless affairs.
