The eleventh book in Dorothy L Sayers’ classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by writer Jill Paton Walsh – a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie’s Poirot and Margery Allingham’s Campion Mysteries. ‘D.

The lore of bell-ringing and a brilliantly-evoked village in the remote fens of East Anglia are the unforgettable background to a story of an old unsolved crime and its violent unravelling twenty years later.
