Prisoner's Base Mass market paperbound - 1992

by Rex Stout

This latest addition to the Rex Stout Library features an introduction by Edgar Award-winning author William De Andrea. Nero Wolfe take in a woman boarder? Never. The woman in question is an heiress due to come into her inheritance in one week, and though Wolfe refuses to take her in, he allows Archie to do so. So, when she turns up dead, he has no choice but to find her killer.


From the publisher

When Priscilla Eads, heiress to cotton-towel millions, first pleads for Nero Wolfe's assistance, the portly detective decides to wash his hands of a case that has more than its share of dirty laundry. Just hours later Miss Eads and her maid are found strangled to death under circumstances that don't quite wash. Now, to the dismay of a greedy board of directors and a fortune-hunting South American ex-husband, the astute Wolfe feels, on second thought, a certain responsibility to dip into Priscilla's case and scrub away the stain--of murder! Introduction by William DeAndrea "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore."--The New York Times Book Review 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 the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained--and puzzled--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.
