The mystery takes on multiple levels so quickly that it’s sometimes hard to follow the main suspects, and the plot probably makes no sense at all if one were to bother unraveling the threads. Wolfe agrees to make some initial inquiries to the police, and finds himself tied to the case when Pete is killed, especially when it turns out the kid’s dying request was for his mother to bring Wolfe his life savings - $ 4.30 - to hire the master detective to find the murderer. The boy figures the woman has been abducted, and leaps to the assumption that there’s reward money involved, which he’s willing to share with super sleuth Wolfe. Yarn launches with the arrival of a young boy named Pete, who, while engaging in the windshield-wiping “racket,” has encountered a woman who begs for him to call the police, while driving a mysterious man in the back seat of her car.
