Kill Now—Pay Later
"Kill Now—Pay Later" is a Nero Wolfe mystery novella by Rex Stout, first serialized in three issues of ''The Saturday Evening Post'' (December 9, 16 and 23–30, 1961). It first appeared in book form in the short-story collection ''Trio for Blunt Instruments'', published by the Viking Press in 1964.
==Plot summary==
Wolfe's aging Greek bootblack is accused of murder and Wolfe feels he owes him something since he (apparently) listens eagerly to Wolfe's disserations on ancient Greek culture during every shoe-shining session and moreover has told the police that "Wolfe is a great man".〔This story, along with ''The Golden Spiders'' and ''Too Many Clients'', is a story where Wolfe goes out of his way to help "the little guy", in this a man who ekes out a meagre existence polishing shoes and boots door to door, who gets entangled in a crime merely by being on the premises when it happens when police prefer to believe the other better-heeled people with stronger motives. The story also goes out of its way to point out the inadequate circumstances of even the so-called middle class people in the story.〕
