''The Black Mountain'' is a Nero Wolfe detective novel by Rex Stout, first published by the Viking Press in 1954. The story was also collected in the omnibus volume ''Three Trumps'' (Viking 1955). This book and the pre-war novel ''Over My Dead Body'' both involve international intrigue over Montenegro, but under very different circumstances, first concerning Nazi designs on the Balkans, and later in the context of Tito's Yugoslavia. ==Plot introduction==
In ''The Black Mountain'', Nero Wolfe's oldest friend and fellow Montenegrin Marko Vukcic is murdered by a Yugoslavian agent who has already made his escape from New York. Without hesitation, Wolfe is compelled to go back to his homeland to avenge Marko's death and bring the killer back to American justice; this desire is intensified by the news that Carla Lovchen, his adopted daughter, has also been killed. As they covertly negotiate through one of the most dangerous places on earth, Archie sees Wolfe as he has never seen him before. In ''Over My Dead Body'' (1940), Wolfe plays a part in impeding the control of Bosnia and Croatia by Nazi Germany. In ''The Black Mountain'', Marko's nephew is part of a subversive group to gain Montenegro's independence from Yugoslavia. In the context of 1953 politics, such a concept was unrealistic, and supported by the guerrilla formations of ''komite'' and Zelenaši. Montenegro eventually became an independent country once again in 2006.
