This wonderful guide to the Nero Wolfe stories of Rex Stout was first published in 1991. Now, with additional material, this indispensable guide is available again. Included are synopses of every mystery novel and short story published from the beginning of Stout's Nero Wolfe series in 1934 to Stout's death in 1975.

All these elements combine to form an appealing and useful companion for Wolfe neophytes and for those to whom Rex Stout's Wolfe canon has become a perennial addiction.
