Robert Goldsborough on Nero Wolfe
Robert Goldsborough just published a great profile of Nero Wolfe and an appreciation of Rex Stout over at The Life
Sentence. The article is a great introduction to the Nero Wolfe books (and to Goldsborough's continuation of the series), and also a personal essay about Goldsborough's long-time obsession with the series.
Goldsborough's newest Nero Wolfe novel, Archie in the Crosshairs, is out now in paperback and in eBook. Read on for a description of the book:
Archie Goodwin is chipper as he strolls home from his weekly poker game, money in his pocket and a smile on his lips. He has just reached Nero Wolfe’s stately brownstone on West Thirty-Fifth Street when a sedan whips around the corner and two gunshots ring out, nearly hitting Goodwin. It is a warning, and the message is clear: The next bullet will not miss.
Rotund investigator Nero Wolfe has made more than his fair share of enemies over the years, and it seems one of them has decided to strike, targeting Wolfe’s indefatigable assistant. Some might run for cover, but Archie Goodwin is not the type. With the help of Wolfe’s brainpower, Goodwin will find the man who wants him dead—unless the killer gets to Goodwin first.
