Silver Spire (Nero Wolfe Series, Book #6) by Robert Goldsborough
Staten Island would be forgettable were it not for the gleaming Tabernacle of the Silver Spire, where thousands of congregants come to hear the sermons of Barnabas Bay every Sunday. Millions more tune in on television, bringing 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 started to appear in the collection bag, suggesting that one of the faithful has decided it's time this good shepherd gets the hook
Believing organized religion is nothing more than a scam, rotund sleuth Nero Wolfe refuses to examine 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 associate's name. Wolfe may not be a Christian, but he will always help a brother in need.
