Based on the Nero Wolfe seriesâone of the longest running, critically acclaimed, and bestselling series in the crime fiction worldâa collection of Nero Wolfeâinspired crime stories from one of the most prominent crime writers of his era.
From 1934 until his death in 1976, Rex Stout entertained the world with the exploits of Nero Wolfeâthe eccentric, organ-breeding detective geniusâas related by Archie Goodwin, his irreverent legman. Nearly Nero is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek homage to Stoutâs greatest creation.
Claudius Lyon is a fanatic admirer of Wolfe. He has retrofitted himself and his townhouse after Wolfeâs and has hired a man named Arnie Woodbine to serve as his Archie Goodwin. However, Lyonâs naivetĂŠ and Woodbineâs larcenous nature constantly put them in jeopardyâmore than Wolfe and Goodwin ever faced.
Somehow the imitator manages to find a solution from every problem. But can he and his assistant keep up this pretense for long?
