A reissue of the classic Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery series, now with beautiful covers using 1930 Vogue photographs. Includes a new Introduction by Elizabeth George.
'Lord Peter Wimsey bent down over General Fentiman and drew the 'Morning Post' gently away from the gnarled old hands. Then, with a quick jerk, he lifted the quiet figure. It came up all of a piece, stiff as a wooden doll . . .'
But how did the General die? Who was the mysterious Mr X who fled when he was wanted for questioning? And which of the General's heirs, both members of the Bellona Club, is lying?
This sinister case takes Dorothy L Sayers' unique detective from London to Paris and finally back to the hushed dignity of the Bellona Club itself.
