HTML:Nero Wolfe has left his comfortable brownstone for the promise of a remarkably rare black orchid at a flower show??but before Wolfe and his perennially hardy sidekick, Archie Goodwin, have a chance to stop and smell the roses, a diabolically daring murder takes place right under their noses and puts a blight on the proceedings.

No es mucho lo que puede hacer que Wolfe deje su cómoda casa de piedra rojiza, pero la exhibición de una rara orquídea negra lo atrae a una exhibición de flores. Desafortunadamente, el evento tan esperado pronto se ve ensombrecido por un asesinato tan atrevido como repentino. Se trata de eliminar a un asesino astuto que puede aparecer en cualquier lugar, y Wolfe debe hacerlo rápidamente. Porque un segundo caso espera su atención urgente: una viuda de sociedad en una lista de correo de cartas envenenadas que conducen a un complot tan oscuro como cualquier orquídea que Wolfe haya encontrado.
