Trouble in Triplicate is a collection of three short Nero Wolfe mysteries by Rex Stout, first published in 1949. The book includes the stories Before I Die, Help Wanted, Male, and Instead of Evidence, each featuring Wolfe and his sharp-tongued assistant, Archie Goodwin, as they unravel complex and dangerous cases. In Before I Die, Wolfe is hired by a notorious gangster who needs help clearing up a personal matter to maintain his criminal empire. Despite his distaste for the client, Wolfe takes on the case, leading to a tense and dangerous investigation. In Help Wanted, Male, Wolfe receives a death threat and hires a body double to protect himself. When the double is murdered, Wolfe is forced to confront the threat directly, testing his intellect and resourcefulness. In Instead of Evidence, a man who believes he will be murdered hires Wolfe to investigate before the crime happens. When the man is indeed killed, Wolfe must sift through a complex web of deceit and greed to find the killer. Each story in Trouble in Triplicate showcases Stout's signature style—sharp dialogue, clever plots, and the unique dynamic between Wolfe and Goodwin, making it a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction. |
