Sinopse

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 . . . 
 
Praise for Robert Goldsborough’s Nero Wolfe novels: 
 
“Devotees of the late Rex Stout’s bestsellers will be pleasantly surprised.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“It is fun once again to enter the brownstone on West 35th Street.” —The New York Times 
 
“A loving, knowledgeable, mightily pleasing recreation.” —Kirkus Reviews

    A haunted old hotel deep in smuggling country, a friend in need, a local dancer who has disappeared in the depths of winter… Posie Parker heads to Rye in Sussex for this golden-age style mystery novella!  
    December, 1925. 
    A dark, smog-filled London doesn’t seem very Christmassy, or exciting, but then Posie Parker, London’s premier female Private Detective, receives an urgent call from one of her oldest friends; Rufus, Earl of Cardigeon. 
    Summoned to ‘The Mermaid’, a reputedly haunted hotel in Rye, on the Sussex Coast, in the heart of smuggling country, Posie, together with her husband, Richard, finds her old friend in a real state. 
    Rufus has been promised answers here about his missing wife, Dolly, but instead there’s simply a bizarre string of events: a priceless car mysteriously driven off a cliff; a missing Frenchman, and telegrams from men who simply don’t exist. While Richard Lovelace, Chief Commissioner of New Scotland Yard tries to work out if Rufus himself is the target of a complicated plot, Posie has her own rather more personal, pressing investigations to make. 
    The local tragedy of a missing dancer, Rosa Rossoli, fascinates Posie. It has been dealt with by local police as an open-and-shut case. But Posie soon discovers it is anything but. And she suspects foul play. 
    And as the snow falls, and Christmas lights go up, Posie becomes involved in perhaps her most touching case so far. Soon she becomes aware that danger lurks at ‘The Mermaid’, and not just for Rufus Cardigeon. In the twisty old smuggling tunnels of the hotel itself, a murderer is on the loose and they have Posie in their sights. 
    A totally gripping 1920s historical cozy!

    I thought I’d left my past behind. With fatherhood only days away, I’m even willing to hand over the reins of Hidden Agenda to West Sampson, a retired SEAL and the best damn tactical genius on the planet. 
    Until a man follows Wren after her baby shower, and I’m forced to confront shadows I thought I’d long banished. 
    A group of ruthless killers are after me, but they don’t care who gets in the way. And they’re not above using my pregnant wife and unborn baby to exact their revenge. 
    They don’t know my family. Don’t know what we’re capable of. Don’t know how far we’ll go to save the ones we love. 
    No one’s getting to Wren and our daughter. Not without going through me.

    A man named Trevor Bennett, the personal secretary of one Professor Presbury, comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is engaged to the professor's daughter, Edith, and the Professor is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage has caused no scandal, but the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of the engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone of his destination, with the family later learning that he had been to Prague. Upon returning, Presbury unprecedentedly forbid Mr Bennett from opening certain stamped letters. The professor had also brought a carved wooden box from Prague, and became very angry with Bennett for touching it. 
    The whole household also observes severe changes in the man's personality: he has become furtive and sly, with changes in his moods and habits, some of which are quite bizarre, though not impeding his functions. Bennett notes particularly strange incidents: one, in which he saw the professor crawling along the hall on his hands and feet and his master swore him off; and another, witnessed by Edith Presbury, who saw her father at two o'clock in the morning at her bedroom window on the second floor.
