Paul Chapinā€™s college cronies never quite forgave themselves for instigating the tragic prank that left their friend a twisted cripple. Yet with their hazing days at Harvard far behind them, they had every reason to believe that Paul himself had forgiven themā€”until a class reunion ends in a fatal fall, and the poems, swearing deadly retribution, begin to arrive. Now this league of frightened men is desperate for Nero Wolfeā€™s help. But are Wolfeā€™s brilliance and Archieā€™s tenacity enough to outwit a killer so cunning he can plot and execute in plain sight?
 
Introduction by Robert Goldsborough
 
ā€œIt is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.ā€ā€”The New York Times Book Review
 
A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of Americaā€™s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertainedā€”and puzzledā€”millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.
