In this classic collection of 12 Lord Peter Wimsey short stories, Dorothy L. Sayers presents a dazzling range of mysteries for her celebrated amateur detective to unravel.

From baffling thefts and missing wills to grisly murders and impossible crimes, Lord Peter Wimsey is confronted with some of his most curious cases yet.

Whether uncovering the truth behind a suspicious death, tracking down stolen jewels or untangling a seemingly insoluble puzzle, Peter Wimsey's powers of deduction are put to the test. Each mystery presents its own twists, red herrings and surprises, demanding all his intelligence, wit and ingenuity.

Dorothy L. Sayers' favourite amateur detective, aided by his loyal valet Bunter and a cast of friends and suspects, sets out to expose the truth behind every baffling case.
