The Silent Speaker
Rear Cover Intro:
THE SILENT SPEAKER
When a powerful government official, scheduled to speak to a group of millionaires, turns up dead, it is an event worthy of the notice of the great Nero Wolfe. Balancing on the edge of financial ruin, the orchard-loving detective grudgingly accepts the case. Soon a second victim is found bludgeoned to death, a missing stenographer’s tape causes an uproar, and the dead man speaks, after a fashion. While the business world clamors for a solution, Nero Wolfe patiently lays a trap that will net him a killer worth his weight in gold.
Nero Wolfe 
My first visit here, not sure this is the right place to comment on the corpus, but…Silent Speaker is my favorite Wolfe book. From the cast of characters, to the story itself and especially the ending, It’s always been my fav.
