Title: The Golden Spiders. A Nero Wolfe Novel Publisher: The Viking Press, New York Publication Date: 1953 Condition: Near Fine Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Edition: 1st Edition "Then it isn't necessary. You are Mrs. Fromm. Before you leave, an understanding and a question. The understanding: my decision whether to accept your retainer and work for you will be made tomorrow; you are not now my client. The question: do you know who the woman was who drove that car Tuesday and spoke to the boy?" She shook her head. "Make your decision tomorrow, that's all right, but you won't report this visit before then?" "No. That's understood. The question?" A woman with a man seated beside her in a Cadillac mouths soundlessly to a street urchin, "Help, get a cop!" One of these three very presently is murdered, and as a result Nero Wolfe delivers himself of his first recorded lecture on crime detection. Even more surprising, Nero and Archie take on a case for the smallest retainer in their history: four dollars and thirty cents. In The Golden Spiders, Rex Stout introduces a new kind of criminal engaged in a peculiarly contemporary and particularly vicious kind of crime. Nero never had to think faster and Archie never encountered greater perils than in this, undoubtedly one of the very finest novels of detection of our day.
