Synopsis
The scene was not exactly new to me. Moved by the spirit of adventure, or by an access of ennui which overtakes me at times, I had several times visited the gaudy establishment of Mercer, on the fashionable side of Fifth Avenue in the Fifties. In either case I had found disappointment; where the stake is a matter of indifference there can be no excitement; and besides, I had been always in luck.
Reviews
On Feb 19 2009, Fict said:
Rex Stout's first book - and pretty bad in every respect. Ordinarily, I would've put it down, but plunged through the whole book out of reverence for Stout's later works - namely, the Nero Wolfe series.
