In 1930, young Archie Goodwin comes to New York City hoping for a bit of excitement. In his third week working as a night watchman, he stops two burglars in their tracksâwith a pair of hot lead slugs.
Dismissed from his job for being âtrigger-happy,â he parlays his newfound notoriety into a job as a detectiveâs assistant, helping honest sleuth Del Bascom solve cases like the Morningside Piano Heist, the Rive Gauche Art Gallery Swindle, and the Sumner-Hayes Burglary. But itâs the kidnapping of Tommie Williamson, the son of a New York hotel magnate, that introduces Goodwin to the man who will change his life.
Goodwin knows thereâs only one detective who can help find Tommie: Nero Wolfe, the stout genius of West Thirty-Fifth Street. Together, theyâll form one of the most unlikely crime fighting duos in historyâbut first Goodwin must locate Tommie and prove that he deserves a place by Wolfeâs side.
