Description: "Her Forbidden Knight gives the reader a glimpse of the cunning devices and charades of the celebrated Nero Wolfe mysteries which followed in the author's later years. Rex Stout's first detective novel follows 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?"--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "A Herman Graf book."

"Includes the bonus short story 'An officer and a lady'"--Page 4 of cover.
