In this classic Lord Peter Wimsey mystery, a seemingly natural death at the dignified Bellona Club raises disturbing questions. The body of General Fentiman is found slumped in a chair, but what appears to be peaceful repose is soon revealed to be something far more sinister. With inheritance, timing, and testimony at stake, Wimsey must navigate a labyrinth of lies, old loyalties, and genteel facades to uncover the truth. Sayers masterfully blends wit, social observation, and keen detective insight in this brilliant tale of post-war intrigue.
