THE MULTIMILLION-COPY BESTSELLING QUEEN OF CLASSIC CRIME, DOROTHY L SAYERS

'Dorothy L. Sayers is one of our best detective story writers' Daily Telegraph

'One of crime fiction's most memorable detectives' The New York Times

'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit' P. D. James
_____________________________________________________________________

Lord Peter Wimsey and Chief Inspector Parker return with a case full of murders, red herrings, collusion and blackmail.

Agatha Dawson has been found dead. The post-mortem declares no foul play and the case is closed.

Something still doesn't seem right to Lord Peter Wimsey and he hires his own private investigator. . . to investigate.

There is no evidence of a crime, that is, until Bertha, Agatha's maid, is found dead in Epping Forest, with a £5 note leading back to a certain Mrs Forrest.

As events come to a head, can Wimsey catch the murderer before he himself becomes one of their victims?
