The Papers Without a Price | A Nero Wolfe Mystery

At a wealthy New York estate auction, a small wooden box called Lot Forty-Seven passes in complete silence—until someone tries to take it and a man is murdered. What looks like an obscure estate item turns out to contain papers tied to hidden property claims, buried family history, and a secret worth killing to protect. A sharp, atmospheric detective mystery where the most dangerous thing in the room is not what was sold, but what was never meant to be read.
