Short summary
Wolfe turns away a frightened prospective client who desperately wants Wolfe to defend him after receiving a threatening letter. When the man is murdered hours thereafter, Wolfe fears for his own life after he receives an identical letter. He hires a lookalike to impersonate him at $100 per diem and waits for the murderer to reveal him or herself.
"Helped Wanted Male" appeared in the anthology "Trouble in Triplicate" with two other Stout novels.
Elements of the plot from an earlier Wolfe story, "Booby Trap" qualify this as a sequel to the earlier story.
"Before I Die" was chosen as the second entry of the thirteen part "Nero Wolfe" radio series and was broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Company on January 23, 1982.
