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?
