À propos de cet audio

In 1930, young Archie Goodwin comes to New York City hoping for a bit of excitement. In his third week working as a night watchman, he stops two burglars in their tracks - with a pair of hot lead slugs.

Dismissed from his job for being “trigger-happy”, he parlays his newfound notoriety into a job as a detective’s assistant, helping honest sleuth Del Bascom solve cases like the Morningside Piano Heist, the Rive Gauche Art Gallery Swindle, and the Sumner-Hayes Burglary. But it’s the kidnapping of Tommie Williamson, the son of a New York hotel magnate, that introduces Goodwin to the man who will change his life.

Goodwin knows there’s only one detective who can help find Tommie: Nero Wolfe, the stout genius of West 35th Street. Together, they’ll form one of the most unlikely crime-fighting duos in history - but first Goodwin must locate Tommie and prove that he deserves a place by Wolfe’s side.

In this witty story about the origin of a legendary partnership, Robert Goldsborough gloriously evokes the spirit of Nero Wolfe’s creator, best-selling author Rex Stout, and breathes new life into his beloved characters.

Excellent story. Characters were very real and interesting. I find this author really brings out the best in all his characters. I am liking Archie Goodwin more and more. One can almost feel you r right there seeing Archie grow from a very young man to a great assistant to Nero Wolf I would certainly recommend this book to anyone.

The story was great! The performer gives Fred Durkin an Irish accent, and Rowcliff's name is pronounced differently than Michael Prichard had said it.

I would have liked having Prichard read it. Who knows? Maybe they tried but couldn't get him to agree to it.

I enjoyed it! Archie Meeting Wolfe was Intriguing!

Very well done imagining of Archie as a young man making his way as a security guard and budding detective in Depression era New York. Good fleshing out (pardon the pun) of Wolfe, Fritz, and the other independent detectives. Believable without (as the author sometimes does in other books) heavy-handed emphasis on Wolfe!s anger, eccentricities, brusqueness.

One of the best by Goldsborough
