WHO WAS THE FIFTH MAN? The lawyer, the jeweler, the art critic, and
the oil-company man…self-possessed, independent Lora Winter has
had a child with each of them. But when one of these men drives up
to her house with a fifth man in the car, Lora runs to hide.
That’s how this extraordinary novel opens – and by the time it
ends, you’ll have pieced together a masterful psychological
jigsaw puzzle that is miles from a traditional crime novel, but
whose desperate characters nevertheless resort to kidnapping,
blackmail and possibly even murder. Long before he was named a
Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, before he created
the immortal Nero Wolfe, Rex Stout wrote this gripping novel,
published in 1930 and then lost for more than 90 years. Hard Case
Crime is thrilled to give the book its first publication in nearly
a century and to give today’s readers the chance to discover one
of Stout’s richest and most unforgettable stories.
