Описание: 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 fiction’s greatest detectives. Here, in Stout’s first two complete Wolfe mysteries, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth and his trusty man-about-town Archie Goodwin solve their most baffling cases. Fer-de-lance The fer-de-lance is among the most deadly snakes known to man. When someone makes a present of one to Nero Wolfe, his partner, Archie Goodwin, suspects it means Wolfe is getting close to solving the devilishly clever murders of an immigrant and a college president. But this is a case with more twists than an angry rattler...and if Wolfe doesn’t handle it with extreme care, he’ll be the next one struck by a killer with poison in his heart. The League of Frightened Men Paul Chapin’s Harvard cronies never forgave themselves for the hazing prank that left their friend a cripple. Yet they believed that Paul himself had forgiven them—until a class reunion ends in death and a series of poems promising more of the same. Now this league of frightened men is desperate for Nero Wolfe’s help. But can even the great detective outwit a killer smart enough to commit an unseen murder…in plain sight?

Описание: An automobile breakdown strands Nero Wolfe and Archie in the middle of a private pasture--and a family feud over a prize bull. A restaurateur's plan to buy the stud and barbecue it as a publicity stunt may be in poor taste, but it isn't a crime . . . until Hickory Caesar Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, is found pawing the remains of a family scion. Wolfe is sure the idea that Caesar is the murderer is, well, pure bull. Now the great detective is on the horns of a dilemma as a veritable stampede of suspects--including a young lady Archie has his eye on--conceals a special breed of killer who wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity.

Описание: Faith Usher had a decidedly morbid personality. She talked about taking her life, and kept cyanide in her purse. So when she collapses and dies from a lethal champagne cocktail in the middle of a high society dinner party, everyone calls it suicide--including the police. But Archie was watching it all, and suspects it was murder. So does Nero Wolfe, especially after he's warned by four men against taking the case.

Описание: - This book contains "Justice ends at Home" and "The Last Drive," two stories that foreshadow the characters and the stories of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. The introduction details the connection between the early characters and what would become the signature characters of Rex Stout. The second story, "The Last Drive," is illustrated with the 14 images of the publication in "Golfers Magazine."Simon Leg and his assistant Dan Culp are the main characters the story Justice Ends at Home, a legal thriller and detective story published in All-Story Weekly (December 4, 1915). The scholars of Stout's work all agree that the middle-aged, phlegmatic Simon and the youthful Dan are Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin already living, perhaps subconsciously, in the mind of the author, eighteen years before Fer-de-Lance was written.Canby Rankin, the "Southerner who had turned detective," is featured in the story The Last Drive in Golfers Magazine (July-December, 1916). The story can be viewed as a precursor of Fer-de-Lance, the first Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin novel-length mystery, in the sense that the device used in this story is almost identical to the murder weapon at the center of Fer-de-Lance.
