      About This Book

      WHOSE BODY? Indeed, it was difficult to say. There was a prominent London financier re-ported missing, but something was wrong with this body--it was not the kind of body a financier would have. Arrests already had been made, but they were without substantial evidence. Thus LORD PETER WIMSEY, in his first murder case, uncovers a most insidious and ghastly crime.
