Description

When a doctor is forced out of practice for questioning the “natural” death of a wealthy patient, Lord Peter Wimsey suspects foul play. Enlisting the resourceful Miss Climpson, Wimsey investigates a case where no obvious crime was committed—yet witnesses keep dying. Featuring a brilliant, tech-inspired murder method and sharp social commentary, this 1927 classic challenges the aristocratic sleuth to prove a murder occurred before the killer strikes again.

This iconic 1970’s rare surrealist pulp cover art was unique to the New English Library series with its bold imagery. A classic Lord Peter Wimsey mystery, this is the third book in the series and is famous for introducing Miss Alexandra Climpson, Wimsey’s fan-favorite undercover agent. These mysteries were renowned among mystery buffs for its ingenious and scientifically grounded murder method—often cited as one of the most clever in detective fiction history.
