Synopsis
When a mild-mannered Battersea architect discovers an unidentified corpse in his bathtub wearing nothing but a pair of gold pince-nez, London society faces a delightfully grotesque riddle. To complicate matters, prominent financier Sir Reuben Levy has simultaneously vanished into thin air from his Park Lane bedroom. Enter Lord Peter Wimsey, an aristocratic amateur sleuth whose frivolous chatter and foppish exterior conceal a razor-sharp intellect. Aided by his unflappable valet Bunter and his friend Inspector Parker of Scotland Yard, Lord Peter sets out to uncover the dead man's identity and determine how these two baffling cases intertwine. Brimming with dry British wit, clever deduction, and 1920s charm, Dorothy L. Sayers’s debut novel invites readers into a dazzling golden-age mystery where high society, macabre secrets, and eccentric intellect collide. Can Lord Peter unmask the cunning killer before another innocent life is destroyed?
