�Nero Wolfe towers over his rivals...he is an exceptional character creation.� �New YorkerA grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America�s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of fiction�s greatest detectives. Here, in this special double edition, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth and his trusty man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, solve two of their most bizarre cases.Some Buried CaesarA prize bull destined for the barbecue is found pawing the corpse of a late restaurateur. Wolfe is certain that Hickory Caesar Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, isn�t the murderer. But who among a veritable stampede of suspects�including a young woman who�s caught Archie�s eye�turned the tables on Hickory�s would-be butcher? It�s a crime that wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity�and Nero Wolfe is the one detective audacious enough to solve it. The Golden SpidersA twelve-year-old boy shows up at Wolfe�s brownstone with an incredible story. Soon the great detective finds himself hired for the grand sum of $4.30 and faced with the question of why the last two people to hire him were murdered. To keep it from becoming three, Wolfe must discover the unlikely connection between a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold.
