Nearly Nero: The Adventures of Claudius Lyon, the Man Who Would Be Wolfe

Nearly Nero: The Adventures of Claudius Lyon, the Man Who Would Be Wolfe

Based on the Nero Wolfe seriesâ€”one of the longest running, critically acclaimed, and bestselling series in the crime fiction worldâ€”a collection of Nero Wolfeâ€“inspired crime stories from one of the most prominent crime writers of his era.

From 1934 until his death in 1976, Rex Stout entertained the world with the exploits of Nero Wolfeâ€”the eccentric, orchid-breeding detective geniusâ€”as related by Archie Goodwin, his irreverent legman. Nearly Nero is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek homage to Stoutâ€™s greatest creation.

Claudius Lyon is a fanatic admirer of Wolfe. He has retrofitted himself and his townhouse after Wolfeâ€™s and has hired a man named Arnie Woodbine to serve as his Archie Goodwin. However, Lyonâ€™s naivetÃ© and Woodbineâ€™s larcenous nature constantly put them in jeopardyâ€”more than Wolfe and Goodwin ever faced.

Somehow the imitator manages to find a solution from every problem. But can he and his assistant keep up this pretense for long?
