Nero Wolfe and The Frozen Laboratory

Nero Wolfe and The Frozen Laboratory | A Nero Wolfe Classic When death arrives at the brownstone in a refrigerated box, Nero Wolfe knows trouble has come calling. On a bitter February morning, a mysterious delivery brings frozen evidence and an impossible murder to 918 West 35th Street. Dr. James Torrance—brilliant scientist, ethical crusader—has been found frozen solid in a laboratory where the temperature never dropped below seventy-two degrees. The police call it an accident. Dr. Helena Quantrell, Torrance's terrified colleague, calls it murder. She's right. Torrance had discovered something extraordinary: a way to extract heat from living tissue with surgical precision, leaving no trace, no evidence, no explanation. The perfect murder weapon. The ultimate military tool. And someone killed him to control it—or to bury it forever. Now Quantrell is running for her life, clutching her dead colleague's encrypted notebook and a vial of the compound that makes the impossible possible. She's brought both to the only man in New York who might understand what she's found and survive the forces arrayed against her: Nero Wolfe, the brilliant, obese, orchid-obsessed detective who hates leaving his brownstone almost as much as he hates being used. But this case won't stay contained. Government agents shoot up Wolfe's bulletproof windows. A laboratory technician dies in a convenient "suicide." The Defense Intelligence Agency wants the research buried along with everyone who knows about it. And somewhere in the corridors of power, men without names or faces are giving orders that end in corpses. With Archie Goodwin's street-smart investigation, six loyal guard dogs sensing danger at every turn, and Wolfe's methodical genius picking apart lies layered upon lies, the hunt begins for a killer who can freeze a man to death while leaving the room warm, who can murder without evidence, who serves masters that officially don't exist.
