In addition to some more noir-ish stuff, Dave Zeltserman also has written a few excellent (IMO) Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin pastiches. These are mostly short stories and novellas, but
Julius Katz and Archie is a full length book. It is a US Kindle Countdown deal right now, at $0.99 for about 5 1/2 more days before going up to $5.99.

Quote:
The Julius Katz detective stories have been a favorite among mystery fans since first appearing on the pages of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine in 2009, winning a Shamus, Derringer, and two Ellery Queen Readers Choice awards. JULIUS KATZ introduced readers to Boston's most brilliant, eccentric, and possibly laziest detective, as well as his sidekick, Archie, a tiny marvel of computer technology with the heart and soul of a hard-boiled PI.
Now in Julius Katz and Archie's first full-length mystery, the stakes have never been higher when a famous Boston mystery writer, Kenneth Kingston, tells Julius he wants to find out who's planning to kill him. The problem is almost everyone in Kingston's life has good reason to want to kill him, and this case soon plunges Julius and Archie deep into the world of murder and publishing.
