The Case That Kept Wolfe Awake | A Nero Wolfe Story

It began with the sound of rain tapping against the brownstone windows — steady, persistent, as though New York itself was whispering a warning. Inside, Nero Wolfe was doing what he did best: sitting perfectly still. But for once, sleep refused to come.

A mysterious visitor had left behind more than questions — and by midnight, the quiet house on West 35th Street was no longer quiet. A body lay in the guest room upstairs, the door locked from the inside, and the scent of rare perfume drifting through the hall like an accusation.

As Archie Goodwin moves through the rain-slicked streets in search of answers, Wolfe’s mind begins to work in silence — mapping motives, rearranging lies, and watching human nature unfold in its most delicate deceit. What starts as a sleepless night becomes one of Wolfe’s most intricate puzzles — a battle of logic, pride, and psychology that will test even his famously unshakable calm.

Step once more into the timeless world of Nero Wolfe — where wit is the weapon, reason the compass, and the truth waits, patient and deadly, behind a locked door.
