"Nero Wolfe towers over his rivals...he is an exceptional character
creation." --"New Yorker
"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 this special double
edition, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth and his
trusty man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, solve two of their most
bizarre cases.
Some Buried Caesar
A prize bull destined for the barbecue is found pawing the corpse
of a late restaurateur. Wolfe is certain that Hickory Caesar
Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, isn't the murderer. But who
among a veritable stampede of suspects--including a young woman
who's caught Archie's eye--turned the tables on Hickory's would-be
butcher? It's a crime that wins a blue ribbon for sheer
audacity--and Nero Wolfe is the one detective audacious enough to
solve it.
The Golden Spiders
A twelve-year-old boy shows up at Wolfe's brownstone with an
incredible story. Soon the great detective finds himself hired for
the grand sum of $4.30 and faced with the question of why the last
two people to hire him were murdered. To keep it from becoming
three, Wolfe must discover the unlikely connection between a gray
Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like
spiders dipped in gold.
