Author Description

Out of all of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe mysteries, Rubber Band stands out as one of the most intricate. The normally unflappable detective is brought on to investigate what appears to be a clean case of larceny, but soon it turns into a quagmire of blackmail and broken promises. Crossing eras and oceans, Wolfe and his trusty assistant Archie Goodwin must find the link between a lynching and a respected British peer. At stake is the life of Wolfe's beautiful young client and a million dollars.
