Nero Wolfe and The Haunted Church

Nero Wolfe and The Haunted Church | A Nero Wolfe Story

On a rain-soaked October evening, a desperate widow arrives at the brownstone on West 35th Street with an impossible story: her millionaire husband has vanished from inside a locked Gothic church in Harlem, leaving no trace but whispered rumors of ghostly music echoing through empty halls at midnight. The police dismiss her fears. But Katrina Lockwood knows the truth—her husband isn't missing. He's dead. And unless Nero Wolfe acts quickly, the killer will strike again.Wolfe wants nothing to do with "supernatural rot." But fifty thousand dollars—and Archie Goodwin's relentless needling—draw the master detective into a labyrinth of century-old secrets buried in the crumbling sanctuary of St. Anselm's Church. What begins as a missing persons case spirals into something far darker: a tale of five founding families, blood money disguised as piety, stolen medieval treasures worth millions, and a decades-old theft that has waited patiently in the shadows for the perfect moment to demand its price.As Archie investigates the church's candlelit crypt—accompanied by Diana, one of the five Dobermans now guarding the brownstone—he discovers a hidden laboratory, threatening messages scratched into ancient stone, and evidence that someone has been manufacturing hauntings to conceal a very real crime. The suspects are all descendants of the families who built St. Anselm's in 1887: a frightened caretaker guarding terrible secrets, an art historian with expert knowledge of priceless relics, a construction foreman drowning in debt, and an ex-convict fresh from prison with twelve years of hatred and a mysteriously full bank account.
