Book #3 in the Lord Peter Wimsey detective series.
The wealthy Agatha Dawson is dead - a trifle sooner than expected - but there are no apparent signs of foul play.
Lord Peter Wimsey, however, senses that something is amiss and refuses to let the case rest--even without any clues or leads. Suddenly, he is faced with another murder: Agatha's maid.
Can super-sleuth Wimsey find the murderer and solve the case before he becomes the killer's next victim? The intricate trail of horror and senseless murder leads from a beautiful Hampshire village to a fashionable London flat and a deliberate test of amour.
