Two years after Cather's death, only a visit from Maria Radovich--and the urging of Wolfe's prize assistant, Archie Goodwin--could draw the eccentric and reclusive genius back into business. Maria's uncle, New York Symphony Orchestra conductor Milan Stevens, formerly known as Milos Stefanovic, spent his youth alongside Wolfe as a fellow freedom fighter in the mountains of Montenegro. And now that the maestro has been receiving death threats, Wolfe can't turn his back on the compatriot who once saved his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Though her uncle has dismissed the menacing letters, Maria fears they're more than the work of a harmless crank. But before Wolfe can attack the case, Stevens is murdered. The accused is the orchestra's lead violinist, whose intimate relationship with Maria hit more than a few sour notes in her uncle's professional circle. But Wolfe knows that when it comes to murder, nothing is so simple--especially when there are so many suspects, from newspaper critics and ex-lovers to an assortment of shady musicians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, in this award-winning novel that carries on the great tradition of Rex Stout, the irascible and immovable Nero Wolfe is back in the game, listening for clues and ready to go to war to find a killer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Murder in E Minor \u003ci\u003eis the 48th book in the Nero Wolfe Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoldsborough, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Robert Goldsborough is an American author best known for continuing Rex Stout's famous Nero Wolfe series.
