====Robert Goldsborough==== After the death of [[Pola Stout|Rex Stout's widow]] in October 1984,<ref>{{cite news |date=October 17, 1984 |title=Pola Stout, 82, Is Dead; A Designer of Textiles |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/17/obituaries/pola-stout-82-is-dead-a-designer-of-textiles.html |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=2014-12-28}}</ref> the Stout estate approved the continuation of the Nero Wolfe series. In 1986 journalist [[Robert Goldsborough (writer)|Robert Goldsborough]] published the first of seven Nero Wolfe mysteries issued by [[Bantam Books]]. Goldsborough's approach was faithful to the Rex Stout works, but he added his own touches, including an updated frame of reference (Archie now uses a personal computer to file Wolfe's germination records; Wolfe's ancient elevator is finally replaced by a more efficient model; etc.). Goldsborough's first effort, ''[[Murder in E Minor]]'', was published in 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nerowolfe.org/htm/corpus/corpus_goldsborough.htm |title=The Wolfe Pack |publisher=Nerowolfe.org |date=2011-06-05 |access-date=2012-01-04}}</ref> Goldsborough often drew on his own background in advertising, education and journalism for color and detail. * [[1986 in literature|1986]]: ''[[Murder in E Minor]]'' β Wolfe comes out of self-imposed retirement to investigate the death of a boyhood friend, who became a famous symphony conductor. * [[1987 in literature|1987]]: ''[[Death on Deadline]]'' β Wolfe intervenes when his favorite newspaper is about to be taken over by a muck-raking publisher. * [[1988 in literature|1988]]: ''The Bloodied Ivy'' β Murder on the college campus, mingled with the attractions and pitfalls of having dedicated groupies as graduate students. * [[1989 in literature|1989]]: ''The Last Coincidence'' β The fallout of the alleged date rape of Lily Rowan's niece. * [[1990 in literature|1990]]: ''[[Fade to Black (novel)|Fade to Black]]'' β Dirty work at an advertising agency. * [[1992 in literature|1992]]: ''Silver Spire'' β Behind-the-scenes intrigue at a successful televangelism ministry based in [[Staten Island]]. * [[1994 in literature|1994]]: ''The Missing Chapter'' β In retrospect, the author's explicit farewell to Nero Wolfe: the story concerns the murder of a mediocre continuator of a popular detective series. Goldsborough resumed the series in 2012 with ''Archie Meets Nero Wolfe'', a prequel to Stout's novels.<ref>{{cite news|last=Liebenson|first=Donald|title=Robert Goldsborough continues Nero Wolfe legacy with 'Archie in the Crosshairs'|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/books/ct-prj-nero-wolfe-archie-in-the-crosshairs-robert-goldsborough-20150305-story.html|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=March 5, 2015|access-date=December 18, 2017}}</ref> The books are published by the Mysterious Press.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mysteriouspress.com/authors/robert-goldsborough/default.asp |title=Robert Goldsborough |publisher=The Mysterious Press |access-date=2014-12-28}}</ref> * 2012: ''Archie Meets Nero Wolfe'' β A prequel imagining how Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin met and became a team.<ref>[[Robert Goldsborough (writer)|Goldsborough, Robert]], [http://robertgoldsborough.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/archie-meets-nero-wolfe/ Archie Meets Nero Wolfe] (blog), August 3, 2012; retrieved August 4, 2012</ref> * 2014: ''Murder in the Ballpark'' β Nero and Archie investigate the murder of a state senator at a baseball game at the Polo Grounds. * 2015: ''Archie in the Crosshairs''<ref>{{cite journal |title=Archie in the Crosshairs|publisher=WorldCat |oclc = 901196684}}</ref> * 2016: ''Stop the Presses!'' * 2017: ''Murder, Stage Left''<ref>{{cite journal |title=Murder, Stage Left|publisher=WorldCat |oclc = 953843687}}</ref> * 2018: ''The Battered Badge'' * 2019: ''Death of an Art Collector'' * 2020: ''Archie Goes Home'' * 2021: ''Trouble at the Brownstone'' * 2023: ''The Missing Heiress''
