Seven Complete Nero Wolfe Novels
Author: Rex Stout

THE SILENT SPEAKER: Someone threw a monkey wrench into the billionaires' gala banquet plans -- the monkey wrench that smashed the skull of the evening's scheduled speaker, Cheney Boone. But, as Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin discover, nothing -- not even his own death -- could really stop Boone from talking... — MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD... more »: Eleven years ago, wealthy Nebraska businessman James Herald gave his only son, Paul, a very raw deal. Now he wants Nero Wolfe to track Paul down so that he can make amends. But what if the young man doesn't want to be found... and what if he's the same P.H. who's currently on trial for cold-blooded murder? It's a case that will draw the great detective and his dedicated sidekick, Archie Goodwin, into a sticky web of deceit, one that will tax their resources to the utmost, and even cost them one of their own.

IF DEATH EVER SLEPT: With a personal fortune of over 30 million dollars, Otis Jarrell's credit rating gave him access to the world's costliest - and fattest - private detective. He needed Wolfe's expertise to identify the snake within his business empire who was sabotaging his deals.

3 AT WOLFE'S DOOR: three Nero Wolfe stories: Poison a la Carte; Method Three for Murder; and The Rodeo Murder.

GAMBIT: Miss Sarah Blount, better known as Sally, has come to Wolfe to plead for his help with her father's case. Matthew Blount is charged with poisoning a man to death at the Gambit Club, and all evidence points to his guilt. Sally knows that her father is innocent, but doesn't trust his lawyer, who seems too interested in her mother. Despite the lack of cooperation by Matthew Blount or the lawyer, Wolfe takes the case, trumping the police with a list of four suspects. But when one of those suspects turns up dead, Wolfe is forced to retrench, so unnerved that he forgoes a fabulous lunch and ignores his treasured orchids. Sally's increasing interest in Wolfe is only one of many trials he faces in this witty, cleverly plotted tale.

PLEASE PASS THE GUILT: A bomb explodes in the desk drawer of a top TV executive. But was the death trap intended for him or for the man who opened the drawer? Each man had a host of enemies, so was it the ambitious business partner, the jealous wife, the office secretary, or the man with blood on his hands? Nero Wolfe finds himself up to his corpulent neck as he and Archie Goodwin sort their way through secrets, over-the-top ambition, and a long list of suspects to find the truth and the guilty party.

A FAMILY AFFAIR: Published only a month before Rex Stout's death, this case is regarded as one of the author's truest. When Nero Wolfe's favorite waiter is murdered in an explosion just feet from him, the detective takes it as a personal affront and waives his trademark fee. As Wolfe and his sidekick Archie track down the culprit, a second murder is committed and Wolfe realizes that this case is a family affair.
