Paul Chapin's college cronies have never completely forgiven themselves for the tragic prank that left their friend a twisted cripple. Yet with their Harvard days behind them, they thought it was all in the past - until a class reunion ends in a fatal fall, and mysterious poems swearing deadly retribution begin to arrive. Now this league of frightened men seeks Nero Wolfe's expert help. But are Wolfe's brilliance and Archie's tenacity enough to outwit a most cunning killer? This is the second mystery in the Rex Stout's Wolfe series, originally published in 1935.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Five Harvard alumni, linked by a tragic hazing incident that left a former classmate crippled, are drawn together at a class reunion that ends in murder. Paul Chapin, crippled by the hazing incident, is now a world-famous author. All clues point to him as the murderer of the alumnus. Michael Prichard delivers pace and timing with excellent reading style as he brings the elegant Nero Wolfe and his assistant, Archie, to investigative life. Deductive reasoning is paramount as clues are discussed in Wolfe's ill-tempered tones with Archie, whose dogged persistence carries the plot forward. Nero Wolfe fans will enjoy this well-done audio.

This review is from: The League of Frightened Men: A Nero Wolfe Mystery (Audio CD)
I have been a Rex Stout - Nero Wolf fan for years and just started rebuilding
my CD collection. The only spare time I have to read is when I'm driving and I'm a little tired of the radio. Nero Wolf stories can be viewed as a mystery story, interplay between the characters Nero, Archie, Fritz, and a cast of caracters, and more receintly, I've been viewing as a snap shot in time and if you listen carefully, political view points of the era. Nero and Archie live (and didn't age) from the 30's to the 60's. THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN - is a bazaar tale of events years after a Harvard hazing accident. I'm not going to give away the plot, but this is one of the more diablcal tells from Rex Stout. I guarentee your not going to know who did it before the last CD.
