Justice Ends at Home and Warner & Wife

ustice Ends at Home was originally published in the Pulp magazine All-Story Weekly. It is both a legal thriller and a detective story. All scholars of Stout's work agree that its main characters the phlegmatic middle-aged Simon Leg and his youthful assistant Dan Culp are Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin already living perhaps subconsiouly in the mind of Rex Stout eighteen years before Fer-de-Lance was written. Warner & Wife was originally published in January 30 1915 issue of the Pulp magazine All-Story Cavalier Weekly. It is sort of a legal thriller the story of a partnership fifteen years in the making. This is one of the novella length stories written by Rex Stout for the Pulps almost two decades before Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin were born.
