![]() ![]() Having been named a Grand Master, however, hardly meant Stout’s career was done. Not surprisingly, given his outspoken left-wing political views, particularly on civil liberties, Stout had also created one of the earliest female private investigators, Theolinda “Dol” Bonner, in THE HAND IN GLOVE (1937), and a part-Native American farmer-turned-detective, Tecumseh Fox, in DOUBLE FOR DEATH (1939). At the time, he had published 32 books featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, his most enduring characters, including classics such as THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN (1935), SOME BURIED CEASAR (1939), and AND BE A VILLAIN (1948). In 1959, at age 73, Rex Stout received the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award.

This week at my website we are listing a large collection of Rex Stout books which feature all the Nero Wolfe titles. ![]()
