A meticulously crafted Golden Age detective story from the legendary Dorothy L. Sayers. When a prominent figure is found dead inside a hermetically sealed study—with doors locked from the inside and no weapon in sight—the local police quickly rule it a tragic suicide. However, the brilliant and aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey notes minute anomalies that others miss. Guided by sharp wit, deductive reasoning, and psychological insight, Wimsey must unravel an ingenious method of murder and expose a killer hidden within a highly deceptive circle of suspects.
