About the book
Home To Roost – a young man with public and pronounced left-wing leanings is murdered. Was he a Communist, a double agent, or neither? The FBI and the NYPD are not happy when his family hires Nero Wolfe to investigate. Cop Killer – Two young DPs are implicated in the murder of a homicide detective. They are political refugees – undocumented and in the country illegally -- and face torture and execution if they are returned to their homeland. Nero Wolfe is their only hope, but he has to solve the case while keeping them under wraps. The Squirt and the Monkey – a popular cartoonist and his bizarre entourage entangle Nero Wolfe in a murder that may cost him his license and his livelihood.
