They all thought they were about to die . . . and they were right. Dazy
Perrit was an underworld kingpin until a hail of bullets sent him into
early retirement. Ben Jensen was a well-connected publisher until a
determined gunman severed all his connections. Eugene R. Poor made
novelties like exploding cigars until one of them blew him to kingdom
come. Only the gourmet sleuth, Nero Wolfe, and his sidekick, Archie
Goodwin, can solve the deadly equation of murder times three.
Introduction by Randy Russell
"It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has
entered our folklore."--The New York Times Book Review
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.
