Description
Nero Wolfe's first novella-length adventure is a dark and complex tale that explores the intricate relationships between family, business, and personal connections. When one of the specialty food manufacturer's products is poisoned, Wolfe feels compelled to investigate, leading him down a path of discovery. Before Nero Wolfe became famous, other detectives such as Canby Rankin paved the way for his unique approach to solving mysteries. The Last Drive features Canby Rankin in a story that was originally serialized in Golfers Magazine. This tale can be seen as a precursor to Fer-de-Lance, with similarities between the device used in this story and the murder weapon at its center. This novella offers a glimpse into the early days of detective work and the evolution of Nero Wolfe's methods, making it an interesting read for fans of mystery and detective fiction.
