A shake-up in the NYPD homicide squad following a high-profile
murder is bad for business for private investigator Nero Wolfe.
When wealthy and popular crusader and reformer Lester Pierce is
gunned down in front of his Park Avenue residence, the public
outcry forces the NYPD to restructure its homicide department. As
the deceased was highly critical of Inspector Lionel Cramer, the
longtime head of homicide is temporarily relieved of his badge. But
it seems Cramer was not just a scapegoat: He was seen dining in
Little Italy with mob kingpin Ralph Mars. All of which amounts to
little more than conversational fodder for PI Nero Wolfe and his
assistant Archie Goodwin. But if Cramer's provisional replacement,
Capt. George Rowcliff, becomes permanent, Wolfe's future dealings
with the force will be much compromised. Loath to depart from his
routine, Wolfe makes the unusual decision to take on a case without
an actual client. His investigation quickly points toward Pierce's
organization, Good Government Group, where high-minded idealism is
often trampled under the competing ambitions of the staff-several
of whom would clearly have benefited from Pierce's demise. Despite
the burgeoning list of suspects, Wolfe hasn't ruled out the
involvement of the underworld and its connection to Cramer. But in
order to untangle an abundance of motives and end the inspector's
forced furlough, Wolfe may have to venture out of his comfort
zone-and the premises of his brownstone. Continuing his beloved
series-which also includes Archie Meets Nero Wolfe, Murder in the
Ball Park, Archie in the Crosshairs, and Murder, Stage Left-Nero
Award-winning author Robert Goldsborough "demonstrates an
impressive ability to emulate Rex Stout's narrative voice"
(Publishers Weekly, starred review). The Battered Badge is the 60th
book in the Nero Wolfe Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the
series in any order.
