<DIV><B>Winner of the Lovey Award for Best Historical Novel: This award-winning mystery reveals how Archie Goodwin joined forces with famed private detective Nero Wolfe and launched a literary legend.</B><BR /><BR /> In 1930, young Archie Goodwin comes to New York City hoping for a bit of excitement. In his third week working as a night watchman, he stops two burglars in their tracks&mdash;with a pair of hot lead slugs.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Dismissed from his job for being &ldquo;trigger-happy,&rdquo; he parlays his newfound notoriety into a job as a detective&rsquo;s assistant, helping honest sleuth Del Bascom solve cases like the Morningside Piano Heist, the Rive Gauche Art Gallery Swindle, and the Sumner-Hayes Burglary. But it&rsquo;s the kidnapping of Tommie Williamson, the son of a New York hotel magnate, that introduces Goodwin to the man who will change his life.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Goodwin knows there&rsquo;s only one detective who can help find Tommie: Nero Wolfe, the stout genius of West Thirty-Fifth Street. Together, they&rsquo;ll form one of the most unlikely crime fighting duos in history&mdash;but first Goodwin must locate Tommie and prove that he deserves a place by Wolfe&rsquo;s side.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> In this witty story about the origin of a legendary partnership, Robert Goldsborough gloriously evokes the spirit of Nero Wolfe&rsquo;s creator, bestselling author Rex Stout, and breathes new life into his beloved characters.&#160;<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
