Nero Wolfe and The Game Of Pride

Nero Wolfe and The Game Of Pride | A Nero Wolfe Story

In the heart of Manhattan, behind the bulletproof windows of his fortified brownstone, Nero Wolfe—the brilliant, corpulent, and magnificently arrogant detective—faces his most dangerous adversary yet: himself.
It begins with a letter. An elegant, chilling challenge from someone calling himself "Janus," predicting a murder down to the day, the hour, the location—and daring the great Nero Wolfe to prevent it. The crime, Janus promises, will be impossible to solve. The victim has consented. The trap is set.
Wolfe knows it's bait. He knows accepting means playing by another man's rules. But pride—that magnificent, fatal flaw—won't let him walk away.
As philanthropist Aldous Pemberton counts down to his scheduled death, a pattern emerges: members of an exclusive intellectual society called the Consortium are dying in ways that appear utterly impossible. A heart attack with no medical cause. A locked taxi cab. A drowning that defies forensics. Each murder is a masterpiece of psychological manipulation, and each victim underestimated their killer.
With his loyal assistant Archie Goodwin and five formidable Dobermans guarding his fortress, Wolfe dives into a case that quickly becomes personal. Because Janus isn't just a murderer—he's a ghost from Wolfe's past, a brilliant philosopher named Demetrius Latros who's spent years studying Wolfe's methods, learning his patterns, and discovering exactly how to weaponize the detective's greatest strength: his ego.
