always appreciated the way Rex Stout combined two different mystery traditions—the intricate puzzles of the English whodunnit and the wisecracking voice of
the American gumshoe—in his Nero Wolfe series.
Nowhere do those two styles
blend together more seamlessly than in this 1937 novel, which follows Wolfe and
his sardonic leg man Archie Goodwin as they try to solve a murder in New York’s

A lovely woman is dead, and the fortunes of overextended theatrical producer Llewellyn Frost depend on solving the mystery of the red box: two pounds of candied fruits, nuts and creams, covered with chocolate -- and laced with potassium cyanide.
When Nero Wolfe's suspicion falls on Frost's kissing cousin, Frost wants the detective to kill the sickly sweet case--before it kills him.

players in and around Tombstone of the 1880s. You get a convincing
warts-and-all portrait of Gilded Age America—one that, in many respects,
still reflects America today.
A New York Times bestseller, Jeff Guinn’s definitive, myth-busting account of the most famous gunfight in American history reveals who Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons and McLaurys really were and what the shootout was all about—“the most thorough account of the gunfight and its circumstances ever published” (The Wall Street Journal)
On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot in Tombstone, Arizona, a confrontation between eight armed men erupted in a deadly shootout. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral would shape how future generations came to view the Old West. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and…
