Summary
Follow the fortunes of the beautiful and naíve Lila Williams, a telegraph operator at New York's swankiest hotel-the Lamartine-as she becomes unwittingly enmeshed in the operations of a shady counterfeiting ring. By chance, the innocent Lila, coveted by a member of an unlikely group of "knights," finds herself swept off her pretty feet and into safety-or is it peril? The very first novel from the classic crime writer Rex Stout, Her Forbidden Knight gives the reader a glimpse of the cunning devices and charades of the celebrated Nero Wolfe mysteries that followed in the author's later years. Includes the bonus short story "An Officer and a Lady."
