Nero Wolfe and The Chemist's Formula | A Rex Stout Legacy Series

A brilliant researcher dies in his laboratory. The police call it an accident. His widow knows it's murder.
When Dr. Robert Hayes collapses in his pharmaceutical laboratory, killed by the very compound he was developing, the authorities are quick to rule it a tragic accident—careless handling of dangerous chemicals by an overworked scientist. Case closed. No questions asked.
But Margaret Hayes knows better. Her husband was meticulous, careful to the point of obsession. He'd worked in chemical research for fifteen years without a single incident. And three weeks before his death, he'd written a chilling entry in his private journal: "Someone is stealing my work. If anything happens to me, it wasn't an accident."
Robert Hayes had discovered something extraordinary—a revolutionary antibiotic derived from streptomycin that could save thousands of lives and generate millions in patents. But he'd also discovered something darker: someone was stealing his research, filing fraudulent patents, and profiting from his brilliance. When he threatened to expose the theft, he died.
Now his widow sits in Nero Wolfe's office with a leather journal, a death certificate the police won't question, and ten thousand dollars she's willing to pay for the truth.
Wolfe doesn't want the case. He despises corporate intrigue, pharmaceutical complexity, and investigations that require understanding chemistry. But the fee is substantial, the intellectual puzzle intriguing, and the injustice undeniable. A man documented threats against his life and died days later in circumstances that benefit those who threatened him. That demands more scrutiny than the police provided.
What begins as industrial espionage quickly spirals into something far deadlier. As Archie Goodwin navigates the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical research—where million-dollar patents create deadly motives and laboratory "accidents" can hide deliberate murder—he discovers that Hayes's formula was worth far more than anyone initially understood. The compound didn't just fight bacterial infections. It showed potential for treating cancer. And someone at Sterling-Wade Pharmaceuticals realized that claiming credit for such a discovery would be worth not millions, but hundreds of millions.
The investigation deepens into a labyrinth of patent fraud, corporate espionage, and scientific ambition gone murderous. A second researcher dies—killed identically to Hayes in what authorities again rule an accident. A patent attorney receives death threats. And Margaret Hayes herself is warned: stop investigating or join your husband.
