"It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore."-- The New York Times Book Review Introduction by David Handler It wasn't Leonard Dykes's 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 But something in his unpublished tome seemed to lead everyone who read it to a very unhappy ending.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 stranger--and far bloodier--than fiction. A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America's greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained--and puzzled--millions 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.

I have read EVERY - and I mean EVERY -
Rex Stout mystery and am never disappointed. Wolfe and Archie's
commentaries never fail to amaze
and there's always a twist with the evil doers.
Having a Rex Stout mystery, to me, is like
a SATISFACTORY treat!
