Target Practice brings together for the first time the complete short fiction that Rex Stout wrote for the popular "All-Story Magazine", the famous journal which published the cream of his early writings. Including "Secrets", the first crime fiction Stout wrote, and "Justice Ends at Home", with a detective team foreshadowing Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, these 17 stories stand among the master's best.

Rex Todhunter Stout (December 1, 1886 – October 27, 1975) was an American crime writer, best known as the creator of the larger-than-life fictional detective Nero Wolfe, described by reviewer Will Cuppy as "that Falstaff of detectives." Wolfe's assistant Archie Goodwin recorded the cases of the detective genius from 1934 (Fer-de-Lance) to 1975 (A Family Affair).
