3 Body Problem - Countdown

The opening episode of 3 Body Problem introduces us to a world where the laws of science appear to be broken (although this is more told to use, over and over again, that properly shown or explained).

Many are being haunted by a ticking clock which only they can see. And, somehow, what is currently happening appears to have something to do with secret experiments in China during the 1960s.

The Rubber Band

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a New York City brownstone. In only the third of the Nero Wolfe mysteries, author Rex Stout is in top form. It’s a complicated case Nero Wolfe accepts in The Rubber Band. First, it involves a female client (notably not his preference). Second, it’s not one situation for which she needs Wolfe’s help, it’s several. One involves a debt owed to Clara Fox and others by the Marquis of Clivers which she hopes Wolfe to be able to help successfully obtain. The second involves a theft of a large sum of money where all evidence points to her as the thief (including the money later being discovered in her car). And the third involves a pair of murders of the people Clara represents owed an equal share of the Marquis’ debt.
