Plot Overview
A mobster phones Wolfe and warns him not to take the case of a prospective client who will be there shortly. That client is a wealthy woman who wants to know where her much-younger husband is coming up with the large amounts of money he's been spending. Wolfe has Archie travel to the woman's estate, under the guise of investigating the poisoning death of one of her dogs, to check out the husband, but soon afterward, the woman and another one of her dogs are discovered stabbed to death, and not long afterward, Wolfe mysteriously disappears, leaving cryptic notes for Theodore, Archie and Fritz. Archie discovers that Wolfe is posing as a gourmet chef at one of his favorite restaurants, hiding out from the wrathful mobster. It's soon discovered that the mobster wants the husband back in the Organization and that he has evidence that the man killed his wife, but Wolfe isn't so sure of the husband's guilt.
