Аннотация

Here is a new detective by Rex Stout, creator of the famous and beloved Nero Wolfe, who is the antithesis in many ways of his illustrious colleague, Nero. Where Wolfe is sedentary, Hicks is a dynamo of energy, where Wolfe is subtle. Hicks is brusque and direct; only in one thing are they alike — eccentricity.
Alphabet Hicks, a lawyer more or less happy in disbarment, was content to make his living driving a taxi-cab until a certain woman happened to ride in his cab. This fare was the reason why Hicks left his cab and agreed to take a case, a case that turned out to have an intimate connection with the manufacture of plastics, and an even more intimate connection with some killings at a plastics laboratory some fifty miles from New York.
That is the beginning, but by no means the end. This is a story with the pace of an airplane written with the skill of Rex Stout.
