Many folks look at the presentation of “the Nero Award for best American mystery” as the start and close of the annual Black Orchid Weekend, hosted in New York City by the Nero Wolfe fan organization, The Wolfe Pack. However, as this year’s event schedule makes quite evident, there will be a lot more going on that weekend, December 4-6, including book discussions, scholarly presentations, a Sunday brunch, and a quiz based on Rex Stout’s first Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin mystery, Fer-de-Lance (1934).
The naming of the 2009 Nero Award winner will take place during the Black Orchid Banquet, scheduled for Saturday, December 5. If you don’t remember the names of the three nominees, click here.
