Nero Wolfe and The Promise Made Too Early

A public vow. A ballroom full of applause. And by dawn—Grant Alder is dead.
In this Nero Wolfe–style mystery, Archie Goodwin spots something small but dangerous: the applause starts too early. That single detail unravels a web of donor secrets, “restricted gifts,” cleaned ledgers, a missing desk blotter, and one expensive cufflink left under a desk.
As Inspector Cramer closes in, Wolfe does what he does best—turns panic into proof and forces the guilty to reveal themselves. If you love classic detective vibes with modern corruption, sharp dialogue, and interconnected clues across chapters, this story is for you.
