مرگ سه بار (سه داستان نرو ولف)

Murder strikes thrice in these three baffling mysteries of crime and detection. First, Rex Stout’s great detective, Nero Wolfe, develops an appetite for the sweet taste of revenge when someone slips something most foul into his lunch—in a case motivated by the most “alimentary” of passions. Then, a couturier’s beautiful sister uses Archie Goodwin, Wolfe’s man about town, as her ready-made alibi—and maybe her fall guy—unless Wolfe can spot the loose ends in a nearly seamless crime. Finally, Wolfe has a run-in with the law after a mysterious old woman leaves a package at the detective’s West Thirty-fifth Street brownstone that pits him against a cunning criminal—and the U.S. federal government. Contains "Bitter End," "Frame-Up for Murder," and "Assault on a Brownstone." "Assault on a Brownstone" was first published in this collection, and is an early draft of the story published serially in 1961 as "Counterfeit for Murder" (and included in its final revised form in the 1962 collection "Homicide Trinity"). "Bitter End" first published in serial form in 1940; "Frame-Up for Murder" first published in serial form in 1958. This collection originally published in 1985. Introduction by John J. McAleer. Archie Goodwin has his hands full when three baffling murders make him the recipient of a poisonous lunch, the fall guy for a beautiful woman, and the target of the U.S. Federal Government
