Robert Goldsborough (b. 1937) is an American author best
known for continuing Rex Stout’s famous Nero Wolfe series. Born in
Chicago, he attended Northwestern University, and upon graduation
went to work for the Associated Press, beginning a lifelong career
in journalism that would include long periods at the Chicago
Tribune and Advertising Age.
While at the Tribune, Goldsborough began writing mysteries in the
voice of Rex Stout, the creator of iconic sleuths Nero Wolfe and
Archie Goodwin. Goldsborough’s first novel starring Wolfe, Murder
in E Minor (1986), was met with acclaim from both critics and
devoted fans, winning a Nero Award from the Wolfe Pack. Six more
novels followed, including Death on Deadline (1987) and Fade to
Black (1990). In 2005, Goldsborough published Three Strikes You’re
Dead, the first in an original series starring Chicago Tribune
reporter Snap Malek. His most recent novel is Stop the Presses!
(2016).
