Bitter End, the first novella length adventure featuring Nero Wolfe
and Archie Goodwin, appeared in the November 1940 issue of The
American Magazine. The story, which is dark and complex, explores
the family, business and personal relationships of the owners and
employees of a specialty food manufacturer. Wolfe has a personal
encounter with one of their products that has been poisoned and
feels compelled to investigate Before there was Nero Wolfe there
were others, detectives such a Canby Rankin, Dol Bonner, and
Tecumseh who paved the road for the most famous of Stout's
detectives. The Last Drive features Canby Rankin, the "Southerner
who had turned detective," in a story serialized in Golfers
Magazine. 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 here is almost identical to the
murder weapon at the center of Fer-de-Lance.
