| Fer-de-lance | comment |
The first novel in the Nero Wolfe series by Rex Stout, Fer De Lance was written in 1934, and is set in early June of 1933, two months after the repeal of Prohibition and during the Great Depression.It introduces not only Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, his right-hand man, but also the core trio of the recurring corps of free-lancers Wolfe will use through the rest of the series, Saul Panzer, Fred Durkin, and Orrie Cather, plus one more who is dropped later, Bill Gore; and the other members of his household, chef Fritz Brenner and nursemaid-to-the-orchids Theodore Horstmann. Other recurring characters introduced in this novel include Ben King, the Westchester County Sheriff and Anderson, the Westchester County District Attorney. Purley Stebbins, of the New York City Police Department is mentioned, but only in passing. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: At the beginning of the novel, Wolfe switches his beer supply from bootleg beer delivered in barrels to legitimate beer that comes in individual bottles. When Wolfe figures out that Barstow's death had something to do with his golf clubs, Archie remarks that personally he never saw any use for golf clubs other than beating snakes to death. Both of these are set-up for the scene near the end where the murderer tries to dispose of Wolfe with a venomous snake and Wolfe beats it to death with a beer bottle. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Although this is the first novel in the series, Archie refers to previous cases that Wolfe and Archie have worked together in a veiled fashion, indicating that they've been doing this a while. They have previously worked with District Attorney Anderson on a case that, while ended successfully, was handled by Anderson in a way that brought embarrassment to Wolfe and has resulted in lingering acrimony from Archie ever since. Whatever it was that involved the Williamsons. It apparently was a kidnapping, since Archie says June 16th is "the anniversary of the day that Little Tommy Williamson had been restored to his parents in Wolfe's office". Williamson happily agrees to let Wolfe stage the mock robbery in his driveway. | |

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_4e6e4dc7 | comment |
The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: Dr. Nathaniel Bradford signed the death certificate for Peter Barstow, stating that the cause of death was a heart attack. Once Wolfe is satisfied that he knows the real cause of death, this catapults Dr. Bradford to the top on the list of suspects, since the symptoms of snake venom and heart attack are nothing alike, establishing that Dr Bradford either 1) is utterly incompetent or 2) was covering something up (for his own benefit or to protect someone else). It turns out to be #2; Bradford is covering for Barstow's wife, who is suffering from an ambiguous disorder which caused her to act with irrational violence towards her husband. She turns out to be innocent however. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The tone of the back-and-forth banter between Wolfe and Archie is rather more biting, and at times nearly acrimonious, compared to the tone they adopt as the series progresses. As part of that, Wolfe pulls an uncharacteristic Sherlock Scan on Fred Durkin (immediately knowing that he brought a woman with him to the house even though he didn't bring her into the office), and Archie gets angry at Wolfe for simply making the deduction. Archie takes a much more active role in helping with the orchids, at one point spending much of the afternoon working with Theodore to check in a shipment of new plants that has just arrived and at another spending a couple hours just hanging out in the orchid rooms, "chinning with Horstmann", to kill time. In later stories, his involvement with the orchids is almost entirely confined to admiring them and doing the record-keeping, and he is not on particularly social terms with Theodore. While Orrie is not described in detail, Archie refers to him 'screwing up his thin lips and looking for a place to spit his tobacco juice.' In later stories he is described as young, handsome, and does not chew tobacco. Fred is frequently called just "Durkin", while he's almost always called by his first name or full name in subsequent books. Purley Stebbins is mentioned in passing, in a way that implies that he and Archie are on somewhat friendlier terms than they are in later stories; Archie mentions that he took Purley along to lend official weight to one of his errands, and that doing so cost him a beer. Archie is openly racist to one of the characters, an Argentinian, in a way that is directly contrasted with the more tolerant Wolfe. This would be dropped in later novels. Wolfe's Consummate Liar performance (see above) belongs here; in later books, while he does play games with the truth it tends to be more along the lines of Exact Words than telling outright whoppers. | |

Offstage Waiting Room | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_68b69854 | comment |
Offstage Waiting Room: The story opens with Maria Maffei coming to Wolfe and hiring him to find her missing brother, Carlo alive or dead. If he's dead, she wants to know who killed him. That holds the stage for 3 chapters. Once Wolfe finds out about Barstow's death, Carlo is completely sidelined; we don't even get a scene of him telling Maria she's no longer his client, even though he also knows that Carlo has been murdered. Halfway through chapter three, Wolfe begins to concentrate on the Barstow death; Carlo is mentioned only in passing a few times in the next ten chapters. Finally, about halfway through chapter 14 (there are only 19 in the book) Maria, Anna, and Carlo come back into focus, but only because Wolfe can only prove the guilt of the Barstow killer by linking him to the golf club Carlo made. There are some justifications; firstly, Carlo's death springs directly from Barstow's (turns out he decided to blackmail the murderer), meaning that proving the latter will make proving the former easier, and secondly, given Wolfe's Punch-Clock Hero nature he's doubtlessly realised that focusing on solving the murder of an affluent academic will net him a better payday than a working class immigrant labourer. | |

I Gave My Word | |
| Fer-de-lance / int_6fb5cb83 | comment |
I Gave My Word: Anna Fiore's stubborn refusal to tell Wolfe the vital information she possesses about the murder is because the murderer has already approached her and given her money to keep silent, and having accepted his money it's a point of honor with her that she keeps her mouth shut. Wolfe respects her integrity, but still needs the information she possesses, so rather than forcing her to break her vow he instead finds a way to manipulate her into realising that her interests are better served if she does so of her own volition. | |

Asshole Victim: Subverted; everyone who knew him describes Peter Oliver Barstow as a borderline saint who had no enemies in the world, thus making it incredibly tricky to figure out who wanted him dead. Which makes a lot more sense when it's discovered that he wasn't the intended victim after all. The intended victim turns out to be an incredible jerk, thus making it easy to see why his son wanted him dead. | |

Due to the Dead: Maria Maffei, in her first visit to the brownstone to hire Wolfe to find Carlo, her brother, is aware that he may be dead rather than just missing. When Wolfe asks her how much she can pay him to find Carlo, she says she has a thousand dollars, and that if Wolfe finds him alive, she will pay all of it. But if Carlo is dead, she will pay less, because she will pay for his funeral first. Wolfe considers this deal not only completely acceptable, but honorable. | |

The Magazine Rule: For the first, but definitely not the last, time, Archie seeks out the staff at a narrow-scope magazine to check on something he's been told. In this case, the magazine is The Metropolitan Medical Record, a monthly magazine for medical professionals in the city. There he learns that Dr. Bradford's claimed alibi for the time of Carlo Maffei's murder — that he was presenting a paper at a dinner meeting of doctors — is true. The June issue lists the meeting upcoming on the calendar, and the editor of the magazine is writing up an article on the paper that Bradford presented that night for the next month's edition. | |

I Made Copies: Carlo didn't make copies, but he did do the next best thing and put all his documentation of making the golf club into an envelope that he gave to Anna to keep before he went to meet the murderer, with instructions that if he came back, she was to return it to him, but if he didn't she was to give the envelope and its contents to Maria, his sister. She didn't do that, but she does, eventually, give it to Wolfe (see Victoria's Secret Compartment). | |

Ambiguous Disorder: Mrs. Barstow. Sarah is quite open to Archie that her mother has a mental issue of some nature; Mrs Barstow herself is the same, additionally telling Archie that there is one person who wanted her husband dead — herself. Dr Bradford confirms that it has something to do with her husband. But exactly what it is is never identified for the audience; her symptoms are never clearly laid out; the closest anyone comes to a clear identification is "neurosis". | |
