тАЬIt is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.тАЭтАФThe New York Times Book Review
Introduction by David Handler
It wasnтАЩt Leonard DykesтАЩs writing style that offended. But something in his unpublished tome seemed to lead everyone who read it to a very unhappy ending. Now four people are dead, including the unfortunate author himself, and the police think Nero Wolfe is the only man who can close the book on this novel killer. So the genius sleuth directs his sidekick to set a trap . . . and discovers that the truth is far strangerтАФand far bloodierтАФthan fiction.
A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of AmericaтАЩs greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertainedтАФand puzzledтАФmillions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.
