In Stout's early and always entertaining mystery story, when Lila Williams, an innocent telegrapher at New York's upscale Lamartine Hotel, becomes enmeshed in a counterfeiting gang, the unlikely knight who comes to her rescue is one of the forgers. This exciting page-turner provides Stout fans with hints of Nero Wolfe's masterful cross-examination and charades, and police detective Barrett foreshadows the character of Inspector Cramer
