Introduced by P. D. James. Bound in paper printed with a design by Natacha Ledwidge.

When Lord Peter Wimsey sees Harriet Vane standing in the dock, accused of poisoning her lover, he is instantly convinced, not only that she is innocent, but that she is the woman for him. But time is short, and with all his brilliance, he has only four weeks if he is to save her from the gallows.

Lord Peter Wimsey is one of the great fictional detectives - brilliant and eccentric, whose conversation is as fascinating as his deductions are ingenious. Sayers was a gifted writer, whose books remain a watchword for good style and elegance, while her beautifully contrived plots have delighted her generations of readers.
