Over de Auteur

Author Rex Stout was born on December 1, 1886. A child prodigy with a gift for mathematics, Stout drifted as he became an adult, holding odd jobs in many places---cook, cabinetmaker, bellhop, hotel manager, salesman, bookkeeper, and even a guide in a pueblo. But his true talent lay in storytelling; toon meer he sold his first story, about William Howard Taft, in 1912. His most famous creation is Nero Wolfe, a 286-pound detective genius who, with sidekick Archie Goodwin, can often solve a case without leaving his room. It is the way in which the puzzle is solved that intrigues Nero Wolfe, who is much like Sherlock Holmes in his ability to use deductive reasoning. More than 60 million copies (in 24 languages) of Stout's books have been sold. Stout writes quickly, drawing upon a lifetime of impressions. He neither uses an outline nor revises; he lets his characters take over as the story develops. The classy, erudite Nero Wolfe presents for readers an alternative to the hard-boiled branch of the genre. He died on October 27, 1975 (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

De ontvoerde miljonair door Rex Stout
De ontvoerders van Jimmy Vail eisten een half miljoen dollar losgeld en mrs. Vail was best bereid dit bedrag neer te tellen, als ze er dan ook maar zeker van kon zijn haar liefhebbende echtgenoot onbeschadigd terug te krijgen. Om dit te bereiken neemt zij Nero Wolfe in vertrouwen. Inderdaad komt Jimmy enkele dagen later gezond en wel terug, maar Nero Wolfe heeft inmiddels ontdekt dat Jimmy's secretaresse méér weet van de ontvoering. Voordat hij haar evenwel voldoende kan ondervragen, wordt zij vermoord. Kort daarop komt ook Jimmy Vail onder verdachte omstandigheden om het leven. Dan gaat Nero Wolfe er eerst recht goed voor zitten en met behulp van zijn getrouwe Archie Goodwin weet hij de schuldigen aan de ontvoeringen de twee moorden te ontmaskeren. Zelfs het losgeld wordt terug gevonden en Nero Wolfe kan tevreden een niet te versmaden percentage ervan opstrijken. Een bijzonder geraffineerd spelletje komt zo tot een, althans voor Wolfe, bevredigend einde. Nero Wolfe heeft als overal ter wereld in onze streken ontelbare fans. Hun aantal kan met ieder nieuw boek dat over hem verschijnt, alleen maar groeien. De naam van zijn schepper, Rex Stout, staat steeds garant voor een spannend verhaal dat uitstekende ontspanning biedt.
