説明
One of the more violent entries in the Nero Wolfe saga.
We find Wolfe not in a good mood and sounding off at Archie Goodwin. There's a meat shortage in the US in 1946, just after WW2, and he doesn't like it. The well-known mobster, Dazy Perrit, picks that moment to visit and request the great detective's help. Perrit needs protection for his daughter and another woman, supposedly his daughter too; she's the one who is demanding ever-rising amounts of money. Is it blackmail?
Librarian's note: this is one of the three novellas that make up #14 in the Nero Wolfe series, 'Trouble in Triplicate.' The three are, 'Before I Die,' Help Wanted, Male,' and 'Instead of Evidence.'
