The much-loved detective hero Nero Wolfe teams up with the new kid on the block, Archie Goodwin, in one of the strongest entries to the iconic detective’s canon in years
Robert Goldsborough is an American author best known for continuing Rex Stout’s famous Nero Wolfe series. Born in Chicago, he attended Northwestern University and upon graduation went to work for the Associated Press, beginning a lifelong career in journalism that would include long periods at the Chicago Tribune and Advertising Age. While at the Tribune, Goldsborough began writing mysteries in the voice of Rex Stout, the creator of iconic sleuths Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. Goldsborough’s first novel starring Wolfe, Murder in E Minor (1986), was met with acclaim from both critics and devoted fans, winning a Nero Award from the Wolfe Pack. Archie Goes Home is the fifteenth book in the series.
“Archie and Nero Wolfe fans rejoice! Robert Goldsborough, who so
deftly and ably continued the Wolfe series a few years back, has
returned to tell the story every fan wanted to hear: the origin of
the Wolfe/Goodwin partnership. This book has a hardboiled sheen
worthy of the period it recreates and captures Stout’s recurring
characters--not just Archie and Wolfe--with a fidelity that is damn
near supernatural. And Archie’s voice and Wolfe’s grand demeanor
are spot on. Here’s hoping Goldsborough finds a dozen more untold
cases as he channels the great Rex Stout.” - Max Allan Collins,
author of Bye Bye, Baby
“Devotees of the late Rex Stout’s bestsellers will be pleasantly
surprised.” - Publishers Weekly
“Robert Goldsborough brings Nero Wolfe, late of Rex Stout,
gloriously back to life.” - Chicago
“Mr. Goldsborough has all of the late writer’s stylistic mannerisms
down pat.” - The New York Times
