Whose Body?, first published in 1923, introduces the inimitable Lord Peter Wimsey to the world of crime. When a corpse, wearing only spectacles, is discovered in a bathtub in Battersea, Lord Peter must determine the identity of both the criminal and the victim. Assisted by Charles Parker of Scotland Yard and his matchless valet Bunter, Lord Peter realizes that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Sir Reuben Levy, a prominent London financier, is somehow linked to the body in the bath. The investigation into the murder and the missing banker leads Wimsey all around England, bringing him face-to-face at last with the murderer. A defining author of the mystery genre, Sayers produces with Whose Body? a delightfully suspenseful debut charged with wit and whimsy.
Autorenporträt
Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) is best known as the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey. Her blue-blooded sleuth romps cheerfully through 1920s and 1930s high society. Arguably the best of the leading "Golden Age" crime writers, Sayers was also a distinguished theologian and classical scholar whose translations of Dante are still in print today.
