"It is always a treat to [hear] a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." --The New York Times Book Review

Will the $45,000 champion bull become barbecue? For the first time in years, Nero Wolfe, one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, leaves the comfort of his New York City brownstone to become entangled in a family feud that becomes deadly. Listen as Nero and Archie Goodwin, his able assistant, try to solve three mysterious deaths: the champion bull, Hickory Caesar Grindon; Clyde Osbood, who bet his life that no one would be eating Caesar-burgers; and Bronson, the blackmail artist. In his reading, Michael Prichard captures the wry wit of the narrator, Archie, as Wolfe teases out the solution to the mystery.

Rex Stout (1886-1975) is dubbed the Grand Old Man of American Crime Fiction. During his lifetime, he published 72 Nero Wolfe mysteries; ten years after his death, a 73rd Nero Wolfe was discovered and published.

Michael Prichard has read over 330 audiobooks including bestsellers by Clive Cussler, John Irving and Tom Clancy. SmartMoney Magazine lists him as one of the Top Ten Golden Voices.
