Here we find the amateur sleuth investigating the deaths of Lady Dormer and her estranged brother General Fentiman at the Bellona Club, a London club for war veterans. Besides the strange coincidental nature of their deaths is the fact that the fate of a substantial inheritance depends on whoever died first. Suspecting mischief, Wimsey is on the case. Lovers of mystery will delight in this classic from the golden age of detective fiction. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
