Nero Wolfe and The False Prophet

Nero Wolfe and The False Prophet | A Nero Wolfe Classic

When faith becomes a weapon and guilt becomes currency, only the truth can set you free—or destroy you.
In the fortified brownstone on West 35th Street, where bulletproof glass guards the windows and six loyal dogs patrol the halls, private detective Nero Wolfe receives a desperate visitor. Dinah Pemberton's brother—once a respected Columbia professor—has fallen under the spell of Thaddeus Crane, a charismatic "spiritual teacher" who claims to see through all deception. Now Jasper is terrified, possibly being blackmailed, and Dinah fears he's in mortal danger.
Wolfe dismisses prophets as charlatans. But when Jasper is found dead in Crane's penthouse sanctuary—thrown through a sealed, bulletproof window forty floors above Manhattan—the master detective recognizes murder disguised as suicide.
With his sharp-witted assistant Archie Goodwin going undercover into Crane's world of candlelit gatherings and drugged revelations, Wolfe uncovers a conspiracy two decades in the making. A young woman's death at an elite party. A cover-up bought with blood money. And a circle of Manhattan's wealthy and powerful who thought their secrets were buried forever.
But someone is systematically eliminating everyone who was there that night. Someone who uses faith as a smokescreen and guilt as a weapon. Someone who kills with the precision of a surgeon and the cold calculation of a executioner.
As Archie infiltrates Crane's inner circle and Wolfe orchestrates his trap from the brownstone's sanctuary, the race is on to identify a killer before the final "revelation"—a gathering where all the conspirators will be assembled, and where murder may be planned on a scale neither detective has faced before.
