Fer-de-Lance: A Nero Wolfe Mystery Stout, Rex Mystery/Suspense/Thriller

In his first appearance, Nero Wolfe wagers the DA that if he exhumes the body of the College President it will be found he died of poison, not heart failure. Reprint, the Junior Book Club edition with the original copyright date. Brown boards with orange print on the spine. Bumped with light rubbing at the edges. Opens a bit too readily to the title page, but the binding is square and solid. Pages well tanned but not brittle, a couple of drip marks to the upper and upper fore edge of the text block.
