Synopsis of The Golden Spiders<\/h5>\n

In The Golden Spiders, after Nero Wolfe<\/a> reacts petulantly to a change in one of his favorite foods, Archie Goodwin to annoy him allows Pete Drossos, a neighborhood child, to enter and request Wolfe’s help in a case.<\/p>\n

Pete says that while washing the windows of a car at a traffic light, the driver, a woman wearing earrings like golden spiders, vocalizing, asks Pete to call the police.<\/p>\n

Pete believes that the man sitting next to her was threatening her.<\/p>\n

To please Pete, Wolfe has Archie pass this information to the police. The next day they learn that the same car, now driven by a man in a brown suit and hat, ran over and killed Pete.<\/p>\n

Matthew Birch, an agent of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, was also hit and killed by the same car, apparently the same day Pete went to Wolfe.<\/p>\n

While this suggests that Birch was the man Pete saw in the car, it shows that Birch was killed before Pete. Therefore, he is discarded as Pete’s killer.<\/p>\n

Wolfe is visited by Pete’s mother, who gives them her son’s savings, earned by cleaning windshields ($ 4.30). She asks them to use it to find her killer.<\/p>\n

Archie, angry at Wolfe’s refusal to get involved, uses the money to put an ad in the newspaper, asking the woman in the car to contact Wolfe.<\/p>\n

Laura Fromm, a wealthy widow, responds to the announcement. And arrives at Wolfe’s house wearing the spider-shaped earrings.<\/p>\n

Wolfe and Archie determine that she is not the person they are looking for.<\/p>\n

But she is horrified to learn of Pete’s death and claims that she thinks she knows who was driving. Fromm refuses to reveal the information.<\/p>\n

The next day Wolfe and Archie receive news that she was also hit and killed.<\/p>\n

Enraged by the fact that two people who came to him for help are now dead, Wolfe decides to solve the murders.<\/p>\n
