Introducing Dorothy L Sayers’s legendary private investigator, Lord Peter Wimsey.

The body of a stout man, wearing nothing except a golden pince-nez, is discovered in the bath of an architect’s London flat.

The police quickly determine the man’s identity to be that of famous financier Sir Reuben Levy, who disappeared from his lodgings the night before.

But though the corpse greatly resembles the missing magnate, it soon becomes clear that it is someone else entirely. But who?

Amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey, with the aid of his great friend, Inspector Charlie Parker, resolves to get to the bottom of this mystery, once and for all.
