Follow the fortunes of the beautiful and naïve Lila Williams, a telegraph operator at New York’s swankiest hotel—the Lamartine—as she becomes unwittingly enmeshed in the operations of a shady counterfeiting ring. By chance, the innocent Lila, coveted by a member of an unlikely group of “knights,” finds herself swept off her pretty feet and into safety—or is it peril?
The very first novel from the classic crime writer Rex Stout, Her Forbidden Knight gives the reader a glimpse of the cunning devices and charades of the celebrated Nero Wolfe mysteries that followed in the author’s later years.
Includes the bonus short story “An Officer and a Lady.”

"Touching, sweet, funny, and thoroughly delightful . . . An unexpected treasure from one of the grand masters of mystery." - Booklist
Rex Stout (1886-1975) was the creator of the enduringly popular private detective Nero Wolfe. Born in Indiana, Stout worked at thirty different professions until he earned enough money to travel. In 1932, he began to write thrillers focusing on the famous detective Nero Wolfe (a gourmet who weighs in at more than a hundred kilos). Rex Stout finished more than fifty novels and received the Grand Masters Award. His other works include Under the Andes, Target Practice, The Great Legend, and An Officer and a Lady and Other Stories.
