The Doorbell Rang

I enjoyed Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe detective series when I was a teenager so I picked up a title, The Doorbell Rang, to revisit recently.  This particular volume pits Wolfe (& Archie) against the FBI on behalf of their client.  They manage to accomplish the extremely difficult task of getting a leash on the (Hoover era) FBI as well as solving a murder.  This book is a bit misogynistic of course (as far as I can tell Stout is always anti-woman) however, if that is something you can overlook, the book is quite satisfying.
