Triple Jeopardy

Don’t tempt Nero Wolfe to find the culprit. When foul play’s the game, he always wins—and in these three crime puzzles, the stakes are high.
 
Home to Roost
Somebody at the dinner table dropped a poison pellet into the vitamin addict's pill-box.

The Cop-Killer
The murdered cop carried the clue inside his folded newspaper.

The Squirt and the Monkey
The monkey was the only witness to the murder and all it could do was gibber.

Rex Strout's Triple Jeopardy—three separate, complete and exciting adventures with Nero Wolfe, the celebrated armchair detective, and Nero's extra arms and legs, the inimitable Archie Goodwin—three top-drawer Nero Wolfe Mysteries, all in one book!
