Triple Jeopardy by Rex Stout

Don't tempt Nero Wolfe to find the culprit. When foul play's the game, he always wins-and in these three crime puzzles, the stakes are high.

Home to Roost
Somebody at the dinner table dropped a poison pellet into the vitamin addict's pill-box.

The Cop-Killer
The murdered cop carried the clue inside his folded newspaper.

The Squirt and the Monkey
The monkey was the only witness to the murder and all it could do was gibber.

Rex Strout's Triple Jeopardy-three separate, complete and exciting adventures with Nero Wolfe, the celebrated armchair detective, and Nero's extra arms and legs, the inimitable Archie Goodwin-three top-drawer Nero Wolfe Mysteries, all in one book!
Rex Stout (1886-1975) is one of the most beloved mystery novelists of all time, best known for creating the corpulent genius Nero Wolfe. Born in Indiana, Stout was a child arithmetic prodigy who spent his leisure time reading every book in his father's twelve-hundred-thousand-volume library. After two years in the navy--which he passed playing whist on Theodore Roosevelt's yacht--Stout began organizing children's field trips to banks, where he was paid a commission for every student who opened a savings account. He made a fortune, and in the late 1920s retired to write serious fiction.

After the Depression wiped out his savings, Stout began writing detective stories. Fer-de-Lance (1934) introduced Nero Wolfe, master of deduction, and his indefatigable assistant, Archie Goodwin. Over the next four decades, Stout published dozens of stories and novels starring the quirky pair, earning him a place in the mystery novelist's pantheon alongside Agatha Christie and Erle Stanley Gardner. He died in Connecticut in 1975.
