Stories that pay tribute to Rex Stout's legendary private detective
by Lawrence Block, Loren D. Estleman, John Lescroart, Robert
Goldsborough, and more. If imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery, then Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin have been widely
flattered almost from the moment Rex Stout first wrote about them
in 1934. The Misadventures of Nero Wolfe collects two dozen
literary tributes to one of crime fiction's best-loved private
detectives and his Man Friday. Included are: A 1947 pastiche by
award-winning crime writer Thomas Narcejac Rollicking new stories
written especially for this collection by Michael Bracken and
Robert Lopresti Stories by bestselling authors including Lawrence
Block and Loren D. Estleman Chapters from Robert Goldsborough's
authorized continuation of the Wolfe series; Marion Mainwaring's
1955 tour de force Murder in Pastiche; and John Lescroart's
Rasputin's Revenge, which reimagines a young Wolfe as the son of
Sherlock Holmes Also featuring a reminiscence from Rex Stout's
daughter, this is a treasury of witty and suspenseful crime writing
for every fan of the portly private detective.
