So when Cohen asks for a favor, the famously brilliant--and notoriously lazy--detective is inclined to listen. According to Cohen, someone wants to kill the \u003ci\u003eGazette\u003c\/i\u003e's gossip columnist, Cameron Clay. Death threats are a regular hazard for Clay, who's hurled insults and accusations at every bold-faced name in the five boroughs. But the latest threats have carried a more sinister tone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The columnist has narrowed his potential killers down to five people: an egomaniacal developer, a disgraced cop, a corrupt councilman, a sleazy lawyer, and his own ex-wife. But when Clay turns up dead, the cops deem it a suicide. The bigwigs at the \u003ci\u003eGazette\u003c\/i\u003e don't agree, so they retain Wolfe and his indefatigable assistant, Archie Goodwin, to figure out which of the suspects had the mettle to pull the trigger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this \"outstanding\" mystery, Robert Goldsborough, author of \u003ci\u003eMurder in E Minor\u003c\/i\u003e, \"once again demonstrates an impressive ability to emulate Rex Stout's narrative voice\" (\u003ci\u003ePubli\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eshers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Goldsborough (b. 1937) is an American author best known for continuing Rex Stout's famous Nero Wolfe series.
