BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
New York: The Viking Press, 1955. Octavo, cloth. First edition. A Nero Wolfe mystery novel. "Nero Wolfe again and his faithful Archie are confronted with a ticklish Job in solving the problem of the disappearance of a wallet which contained the answers to a nationwide contest, now reduced to the final contestants. That the man who was carrying the wallet had been murdered was not Wolfe's concern: Just how he faces failure -- and brings off success with a flourish leaves the reader still questioning. Slick -- and not quite fair." Kirkus Review, 1 October, 1955. [Reference: Hubin, pp. 777-778. Townsend, Rex Stout: An Annotated and Secondary Bibliography, A36a. ]. Some fade to spine and cloth edges a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with light edge wear. (32431). Item #32431
