Nero Wolfe and The Black River Pact

Nero Wolfe and The Black River Pact | A Nero Wolfe Story When the past refuses to stay buried, even Nero Wolfe can't ignore the call for justice. It begins with a terrified woman at the brownstone door, clutching a threatening note about an oath made thirty years ago by a dark river. Helen Vance speaks of the Black River Pact—five young people bound by blood and silence to a secret that has festered for decades. Now scsomeone is systematically eliminating the survivors, and the deaths are mounting. Nero Wolfe wants no part of ancient crimes and guilty consciences. But when bodies start surfacing—literally and figuratively—even the world's most sedentary detective must take notice. What starts as a simple case of blackmail spirals into a complex web of murder, revenge, and long-buried secrets that stretches from the drawing rooms of Manhattan to the shadowy banks of a upstate river. With his razor-sharp assistant Archie Goodwin doing the legwork and the five formidable Dobermans standing guard at the brownstone, Wolfe must unravel a thirty-year-old mystery before the killer strikes again. But in a case where everyone has something to hide and the dead keep their secrets poorly, the truth proves more elusive—and more deadly—than anyone imagined.
