Apparently this story has been the subject of much speculation and study by Wolfe fans, as a mystery which they've minutely dissected for clues. I found the main character such a racist, misogynist, vile person that I was hoping someone would kill him far earlier than actually happened -- and I had absolutely no interest in re-reading the story to try to figure out who did it or when.

I think that this is an example of the stories which were much lauded back when they were released having aged really, really badly. Not recommended for anyone except devoted Wolfe fans.
