Read - death. 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. The New York Publishing House enters the manuscript of the novel, which the editor rejects after reading. Soon after, those who read or saw this work begin to die. The killer manages to destroy all typewritten specimens of the novel and so confuse traces that the police are ready to close the case. But here Niro Wolfe is taken for the investigation... Once, a stranger is an unfamiliar girl who is going to live here for some time to live here. Wolf puts an uninvited guest outside, and the next day he finds out that the girl was killed. And since Wolf believes that there is no client - there is no case, Archie Goodwin is taken for the investigation, but as a result it falls in jail. And then Wolfe is forced to call Archie Goodwin his client to get him out of prison and find a killer. In addition to the novels to “read - Death” and “Playing the Fifteen”, the collection includes three more novels.
