When a powerful government official scheduled to speak to a group of millionaires turns up dead, the business world clamors for a solution, and Nero Wolfe takes the case.
Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He`s had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He`s certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer`s letter is about to prove.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist, a dark romantic, and short story writer. Set in seventeenth-century Massachusetts, Hawthorne`s The Scarlet Letter was originally subtitled "a romance," though its themes include the limits of law, the power of religion, and the nature of sin. The red letter "A" on her dress marks young mother Hester Prynne among her Puritan neighbors, who demand to know who fathered her child. Rumors swirl, but the shunned and shamed Hester keeps her secret for years, until a guilt-ridden confession reveals the truth, with unexpected consequences.
