It deals directly with the shenanigans of the FBI during the fifties and sixties. Having read it I found myself researching the FBI in that era. ( ) El asesino había dejado el cadáver, pero se había llevado la bala. Todas las pistas habían quedado borradas. Para colmo, el F.B.I. estaba en el ajo, con susu escuchas electrónicas y esos mil aparatos que obligaban a Nero Wolfe a vivir en condiciones insoportables. Aquello tenía que acabar ¿Wolfe trabajando en un cuartucho, hablando en susurros y con el televisor encendido para no ser oído? intolerable: caiga quien caiga, pese a quien le peses la normalidad ha de volver, pero para ello es preciso descubrir al criminal. Rachel Bruner is on a mission: to expose the shortcomings of the FBI. She’s done this by mailing 10,000 copies of a book critical of the Feds to influential people around the country. And now she has the FBI on her tail. Wolfe and Archie are brought in to investigate a murder in her circle that she is convinced has FBI involvement, and they get sucked into the web of espionage too. This is an action-packed installment of the series, and told extremely efficiently, in only about 125 pages in my edition. No familiarity with the established characters is required; Archie Goodwin, our humble narrator, gives us enough information to let us know who’s who without bogging down the story. This was my first Nero Wolfe and I would definitely recommend it as an introduction to the series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
