Bitter End, the first novella length adventure featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, appeared in the November 1940 issue of The American Magazine. The story, which is dark and complex, explores the family, business and personal relationships of the owners and employees of a specialty food manufacturer. Wolfe has a personal encounter with one of their products that has been poisoned and feels compelled to investigate Before there was Nero Wolfe there were others, detectives such a Canby Rankin, Dol Bonner, and Tecumseh who paved the road for the most famous of Stout's detectives. The Last Drive features Canby Rankin, the "Southerner who had turned detective," in a story serialized in Golfers Magazine. The story can be viewed as a precursor of Fer-de-Lance, the first Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin novel-length mystery, in the sense that the device used here is almost identical to the murder weapon at the center of Fer-de-Lance.

ustice Ends at Home was originally published in the Pulp magazine All-Story Weekly. It is both a legal thriller and a detective story. All scholars of Stout's work agree that its main characters, the phlegmatic, middle-aged Simon Leg and his youthful assistant Dan Culp, are Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin already living, perhaps subconsiouly, in the mind of Rex Stout eighteen years before Fer-de-Lance was written. Warner & Wife was originally published in January 30, 1915 issue of the Pulp magazine All-Story Cavalier Weekly. It is sort of a legal thriller, the story of a partnership fifteen years in the making. This is one of the novella length stories written by Rex Stout for the Pulps almost two decades before Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin were born.

Im called the Cimarron Kid. Dont let that scare you; I picked up the kid handle while I was growing up in the Yuma, Arizona, territory. Im the second-born son of the notorious outlaw and gunman, the Nevada Kid. My father ran with the Younger Brothers Gang, but after his seven years in Yuma prison, he got a little smarter and went straight, then got married to my mother, Ricki, a barrel racer. Im one of five boys raised on a big spread called the Flying T2 Roughstock and Cattle Company. My older brother, TJ, went to college and became a lawyer, and me, well, Pa laughingly considers me to be part of the roughstock on the ranch. I was born and bred cowboy tough. My gun is a lot faster than TJs and probably even faster than Pas ever was, but TJ is no wimp. He shoots accurately and can handle a gun almost as good as me, but then again, I had more time to practice speed. There is only one difference between me and my four brothers, which is that Im a chip off the old block and can find myself in more trouble than a woodpecker in a petrified forest. If you want to hear my story, you got to read the book. Sincerely, Cimarron Lacey Flying T2 Brand

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
