That book, however, was not a commercial success, and only three books featuring Fox were written, one of which was later used as the basis for a Wolfe story at the urging of Stout's publisher.
Den bog var imidlertid ikke nogen salgssucces, og Stout skrev kun tre bøger med Fox, hvor af en af dem senere dannede grundlag for en Wolfe historie efter pres fra Stouts forlægger.
