From Dorothy L. Sayers, renowned for her mystery tales, comes the inaugural adventure of Lord Peter Wimsey. A body is discovered in an architect's tub, clad only in spectacles. Meanwhile, a financier has inexplicably vanished. Lord Peter, piqued by these peculiar events, disregards the official probe and launches his own investigation, accompanied by his valet, Bunter. As he delves deeper, he finds the cases intertwined, with consequences that stir up his own past, including echoes of World War I.
