I would have tried some bulldozing if I thought he was merely dreaming of stuffed quail or pickled pigs' feet, but his lips were moving a little so I knew he was working.

From the publisher:
In all his years of detecting, the unflappable Nero Wolfe has never encountered an investigation as damnably messy as this one. For what began as a clean case of larceny quickly sank into a quagmire of blackmail and broken promises, international scandal and cold-blooded murder.
Now Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, must bridge eras and oceans to find the link between a Wild West lynching and a respected British peer. Only then can they save Wolfe's beautiful young client - and a hotly disputed stake of a cool million dollars.

Excerpts
added by Ardyth Klander.
Language style and topic is a good sampling of the style of the books - Archie's bit of snark and Wolfe's sedentary (though easily distracted) genius.
