Nero Wolfe and The Lost Claim Certificate

Nero Wolfe and The Lost Claim Certificate | A Rex Stout Legacy Series

A Depression-era mining claim. A fortune worth thirty million dollars. And a piece of paper that four people have already died for.
When Russell Carmody walks into Nero Wolfe's brownstone on a gray April morning, he brings with him a discovery that should have made him rich—and a terror that suggests it will instead get him killed. The Nevada silver mining claim he unearthed is worth a fortune, but the certificate that proves ownership has been stolen from his apartment. Worse, two colleagues who knew about the claim are already dead in what police have ruled "accidents."
Wolfe is reluctant. Carmody is desperate. And by the time the great detective agrees to take the case, Carmody himself becomes the third victim in what's beginning to look like a systematic elimination of everyone who knows about the Kowalski claim.
Now Archie Goodwin must navigate a treacherous landscape of bitter ex-wives, ambitious lawyers, ruthless mining executives, and business partners with secrets to hide—each with motive to kill, each with opportunity to steal, and each with an alibi that seems just a little too perfect. As the body count rises and the suspects multiply, it becomes clear that someone is willing to commit murder after murder to claim a fortune that exists only on paper.
But when hired gunmen assault the brownstone itself in a desperate attempt to eliminate Wolfe and Archie, they discover what happens when greed meets preparation. Protected by bulletproof windows and defended by six highly trained guard dogs—five Dobermans and one courageous pit bull—the brownstone becomes a fortress that won't fall.
From his custom-built chair, surrounded by orchids and armed with nothing but pure deduction, Nero Wolfe must untangle a conspiracy involving multiple killers, competing ambitions, and the kind of greed that turns ordinary people into murderers. The certificate is hidden. The killers are desperate. And somewhere in Manhattan, a fortune in silver waits for whoever can survive long enough to claim it.
In a case where everyone has blood on their hands, Wolfe must determine which blood matters most—before the next victim is Archie Goodwin himself.
