Nero Wolfe

Nero Wolfe is a fictional armchair detective created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout. Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin, were featured in 33 novels and 39 novellas between 1934 and 1975. The stories have been adapted for film, radio, television and the stage. After the death of Rex Stout's widow in October 1984, the Stout estate approved the continuation of the Nero Wolfe series. In 1986 journalist Robert Goldsborough published the first of seven Nero Wolfe mysteries issued by Bantam Books. Goldsborough resumed the series in 2012 with Archie Meets Nero Wolfe, a prequel to Stout's novels.
