Three Witnesses. Nero Wolfe Mysteries. Illustrated
Three Witnesses is a collection of three Nero Wolfe mystery novellas by Rex Stout, first published in 1956. Each story features the famous private detective Nero Wolfe and his witty assistant Archie Goodwin, as they solve complex cases.
In "The Next Witness," Wolfe finds himself called to testify in a trial but soon becomes involved in solving the case when he realizes the defendant may be innocent. Defying the court, Wolfe and Archie investigate the crime on their own, uncovering hidden motives and surprising evidence.
"Die Like a Dog" begins when Archie mistakenly picks up the wrong dog, only to discover it connected to a murder. Wolfe is drawn into the case, using his intellect and sharp deduction skills to solve the mystery and identify the killer.
In "When a Man Murders," a man declared dead in World War II suddenly reappears, only to be murdered for real. Wolfe must unravel the strange circumstances and the hidden relationships that led to the killing.
