An "excellent" novel that goes back to 1920s New York to reveal how
the famed detective first met his incomparable sidekick (Publishers
Weekly, starred review). In 1930, young Archie Goodwin comes to New
York City hoping for a bit of excitement. In his third week working
as a night watchman, he stops two burglars in their tracks-with a
pair of hot lead slugs. Dismissed from his job for being
"trigger-happy," he parlays his newfound notoriety into a job as a
detective's assistant, helping honest sleuth Del Bascom solve cases
like the Morningside Piano Heist, the Rive Gauche Art Gallery
Swindle, and the Sumner-Hayes Burglary. But it's the kidnapping of
Tommie Williamson, the son of a New York hotel magnate, that
introduces Goodwin to the man who will change his life. Goodwin
knows there's only one detective who can help find Tommie: Nero
Wolfe, the stout genius of West Thirty-Fifth Street. Together,
they'll form one of the most unlikely crime fighting duos in
history-but first Goodwin must locate Tommie and prove that he
deserves a place by Wolfe's side. In this witty story about the
origin of a legendary partnership, Robert Goldsborough gloriously
evokes the spirit of Nero Wolfe's creator, bestselling author Rex
Stout, and breathes new life into his beloved characters.
