(The Rubber Band) By Rex Stout For once in his life, that fat, beer-drinking, orchid-fancying detective, Nero Wolfe, came near to getting killed for his own cleverness. It all started when he turned down a large fee from Anthony D. Perry, wealthy president of gigantic Seaboard Products Corporation, and took for a client pretty Clara Fox. Miss Fox was accused of stealing $30,000 (1936 dollars!) from Seaboard. Wolfe accepted a retainer of $1. For those who knew that Wolfe's appetite for money approached his for food, that was a surprise. But Wolfe knew that far more than a five-digit theft was in the wind. If Seaboard was in the equation, here were millions involved. The problem was - he didn't count on two murders, nor on a shooting in self-defense.
