Summary

The iconic armchair detective returns in this collection of three novels by an author who “does a masterly job” continuing Rex Stout’s legacy (Booklist). 
 
Nero Award winner Robert Goldsborough continues Rex Stout’s classic mystery series in these three acclaimed novels: 
 
Murder in E Minor 
 
Nero Wolfe is tempted out of a peaceful retirement in his Manhattan brownstone by his desire to find out who murdered a New York Symphony Orchestra conductor who once saved his life in the mountains of Montenegro . . . 
 
Death on Deadline 
 
Newspaperman Lon Cohen used to pass Nero Wolfe information in return for the odd exclusive scoop, but now the New York Gazette is ailing and a Scottish magnate is circling like a vulture. When the Gazette’s chief shareholder turns up dead, Wolfe will step into the crossfire of a tabloid war. 
 
The Bloodied Ivy 
 
An academic so conservative he thought Ronald Reagan was a pinko, Hale Markham rules Prescott University like an intellectual tyrant—until the morning he’s found dead at the bottom of one of Prescott’s famously beautiful ravines. It’s time for Wolfe to go back to school . . .
