Nero Wolfe and The Shadow That Followed Goodwin

While trailing a routine lead through the city streets, Archie Goodwin becomes aware of a shadow that never leaves him. At first it seems like simple surveillance—until a witness connected to the case is murdered minutes after Goodwin speaks with him. Realizing that Archie himself may be the bait, Nero Wolfe steps in to uncover who is watching, why they are following his assistant, and how the shadow is tied to a crime meant to stay hidden. In this case, the danger doesn’t stalk the victim—it stalks the investigator. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction created for entertainment purposes only.
