Every month, the Black Widowers convene for sumptuous food, fine wine, and a cosmically baffling mystery. Attended by Henry, the all-knowing waiter, these gentle rogues ponder such imponderables as:

* the one-syllable middle name that represents what every schoolboy knows, yet doesn't...
* a murder by solar eclipse very far out in space...
* a Soviet spy's dying message utilizing a Scrabble set and a newspaper sports page...
* a satanic cult leader's Martian connection...
* a computer criminal's strange equation of Christmas and Halloween...
* an ancient symbol that provides the key to a woman's mysterious disappearance...
