Nero Wolfe leaves his Manhattan brownstone to travel to the resort of Kanawha Spa, in order to give a speech to a group of famous chefs (and not coincidentally, to eat each man's specialties, prepared for an annual dinner). When one of their number is killed, Wolfe and Archie have to wade through a tangled web of lies and clues, both criminal and gustatory.
