Champagne for One

Faith Usher had a decidedly morbid personality. She talked about taking her life, and kept cyanide in her purse. So when she collapses and dies from a lethal champagne cocktail in the middle of a high society dinner party, everyone calls it suicide – including the police. But Archie was watching it all, and suspects it was murder. So does Nero Wolfe, especially after he`s warned by four men against taking the case. For the world`s most formidable detective it is a tantalizing puzzli involving an unlikely combination of philanthropy, deceptior blackmail, and an unrepentant killer who just may have committed the perfect crime.
