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?

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The wealthy old woman died much sooner than the doctor expected. Did she suddenly succumb to illness—or was it murder? The debonair detective Lord Peter Wimsey begins to investigate, with the help of his trusted manservant, Bunter, and Miss Alexandra Katherine Climpson, a gossipy spinster with a gift for asking the right questions. The intricate trail leads from a beautiful Hampshire village to a fashionable London flat, where a deliberate test of amour, staged by the detective, will expose the elusive truth once and for all.

Notă biografică
Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) is best known as the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey. Her blue-blooded sleuth romps cheerfully through 1920s and 1930s high society. Arguably the best of the leading "Golden Age" crime writers, Sayers was also a distinguished theologian and classical scholar whose translations of Dante are still in print today.
