Join eccentric New York detective Nero Wolfe on these two classic adventures from the golden age of American detective fiction. Between eating heroic meals and delicately tending to his prized orchid collection, Wolfe deduces the twisted motives of men, aided by the quick wit and quicker draw of his dashing legman, Archie Goodwin. In Some Buried Caesar, a wealthy playboy dies mysteriously on a ranch in upstate New York, presumably gored by a prize-winning bull. But the bull is slaughtered before any evidence can be gathered. Was his death a careless accident…or murder? In The Golden Spiders, a young boy appears at Wolfe's home and recounts an incredible tale of a kidnapping. Soon he is dead—killed on a public street in broad daylight. Yet there are no witnesses. Wolfe takes a personal interest in the case, and soon uncovers a shadowy web of corruption, embezzlement, and murder. Rex Stout is the king of mystery, and these two classics will keep you on the edge of your recliner.
