<DIV><B>To save his favorite newspaper, Nero Wolfe steps into the crossfire of a tabloid war.</B></DIV><DIV><BR /> Master sleuth Nero Wolfe&rsquo;s small circle of friends is limited to his assistant, Archie Goodwin; his chef, Fritz; and Lon Cohen, the head man at the <I>New York Gazette</I>. Cohen knows more about the city&rsquo;s power structure than any man in Manhattan, and for years, he happily passed Wolfe information in return for the odd exclusive scoop. But now Cohen needs Wolfe&rsquo;s help, for the <I>Gazette</I> is ailing and the vultures have begun to circle.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Scottish newspaper magnate Ian MacLaren plans to gut the paper and turn it into a sex-filled conservative rag. Standing in his way is the company&rsquo;s chief shareholder,<I> Gazette</I> heir Harriet Haverhill. But when the aged Ms. Haverhill dies in an apparent suicide, no one remains to resist the Scot&rsquo;s advances except Wolfe. MacLaren may be fierce, but when the cause is just, Nero Wolfe knows how to play dirty&#160;too.</DIV>
