During its Black Orchid Banquet, held 6th December 2014, in New York City, the
Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin fan organization, The Wolfe Pack,
announced that the winner of its 2014 Nero Award is Murder as a Fine Art,
by David Morrell (Mulholland). This commendation is given out annually “for the
best American mystery written in the tradition of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe
stories.”
Morrell’s historical thriller beat out four other novels to capture this year’s Nero: Ask Not, by Max Allan Collins (Forge); Three Can Keep a Secret, by Archer Mayor (Minotaur); A Study in Revenge, by Kieran Shields (Crown); and A Question of Honor, by Charles Todd (Morrow).
Also the Black Orchid Novella Award was presented to K.G. McAbee for “Dyed to Death.” The Black Orchid is sponsored jointly by The Wolfe Pack and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine.
