Nero Wolfe es un detective de sillón ficticio brillante, obeso y excéntrico creado en 1934 por el escritor estadounidense de misterio Rex Stout. Wolfe nació en Montenegro y mantiene su pasado en la penumbra. Vive en una lujosa casa de piedra rojiza en la calle 35 oeste de la ciudad de Nueva York, y es reacio a abandonar su hogar por asuntos de negocios o cualquier cosa que le impida leer sus libros, cuidar sus orquídeas o comer las comidas gourmet preparadas por su chef, Fritz Brenner. Archie Goodwin, el asistente confidencial joven, elegante y de aguda inteligencia de Wolfe, con ojo para las mujeres atractivas, narra los casos y realiza el trabajo de campo para el genio detective.
