Silver Spire by Robert Goldsborough

Threats against a televangelist lead Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin into a murder case in this "brisk and beguiling page-turner" (Publishers Weekly).

 
Staten Island would be forgettable were it not for the gleaming Tabernacle of the Silver Spire, where thousands of congregants come every Sunday to hear the sermons of Barnabas Bay. Millions more tune in on television, giving the good Reverend international fame, and a chance to spread the gospel from New York City's harbor all the way to South Korea. But threatening notes have been appearing in the collection bag, suggesting that one of the faithful has decided it's time this good shepherd get the hook.
 
Believing organized religion is nothing more than a scam, rotund sleuth Nero Wolfe refuses to investigate the threats, instead recommending veteran investigator Fred Durkin for the case. But when Durkin is accused of murdering the Reverend's assistant, Wolfe fights to clear his name. He may not be a Christian, but he will always help a brother in need.

Goldsborough, Robert (b. 1937) is a well-known American author who is best known for continuing Rex Stout's acclaimed Nero Wolfe series. He was born in Chicago and attended Northwestern University before going to work for the Associated Press after graduation, launching a long career in journalism that included stints at the Chicago Tribune and Advertising Age. Goldsborough began writing mysteries in the voice of Rex Stout, the creator of legendary detectives Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, while at the Tribune. Murder in E Minor (1986), Goldsborough's first novel featuring Wolfe, was praised by critics and fans alike, winning the Wolfe Pack's Nero Award.

Death on Deadline (1987) and Fade to Black (1990) were among the six novels that followed. Three Strikes You're Dead, the first in an original series starring Chicago Tribune reporter Snap Malek, was released by Goldsborough in 2005. His most recent work is Murder, Stage Left (2017).
