The Rubber Band
''The Rubber Band'' is the third Nero Wolfe detective novel by Rex Stout. Prior to its publication in 1936 by Farrar & Rinehart, Inc., the novel was serialized in six issues of ''The Saturday Evening Post'' (February 29–April 4, 1936). Appearing in one 1960 paperback edition titled ''To Kill Again,'' ''The Rubber Band'' was also collected in the omnibus volume ''Five of a Kind'' (Viking 1961).
==Plot introduction==
''The Rubber Band'' opens with the revelation that Wolfe has added a workout to his daily schedule. He hurls yellow-feathered darts at a poker-dart board that Fritz hangs in the office from 3:45 to 4 p.m. Archie had joined in at first, but quit when he found he had lost nearly $100 to Wolfe in the first two months. "There was no chance of getting any real accuracy with it, it was mostly luck," Archie writes. On this particular Sunday, Wolfe exercises alone while Archie needles him by reading aloud, at length, from ''The New York Times Magazine''.
The novel introduces Lieutenant Rowcliff, not one of the NYPD's finest (in the opinion not only of Wolfe but Inspector Cramer). Rowcliff's search throughout the brownstone for Wolfe's client, Clara Fox, earns Wolfe's enmity, which lasts until the final Wolfe novel in 1975. In addition, ''The Rubber Band'' contains the first documented death to occur in Wolfe's office.
