Immune to Murder "Just thought you would want to know about ITM's title music. Long story short, It was originally written by M. Small for the title in Over My Dead Body. The opening music had not yet been selected when the unfortunate news came down the pipe, and it seemed fitting to play something very Nero and unheard for the season finale."
-- Kevin Banks, Music Editor for "Nero Wolfe"
