Three of Lord Peter Wimsey's most baffling cases demonstrate his unique

detection skills at their most spectacular.

The engima of a house numbered thirteen in a street of even numbers; an

indignant child accused of theft, a dream about a game of chess that uncovers

the true story behind a violent death. Each of the stories introduces a different

side of the twentieth century's most ingenious detective hero.

This book also features a biographical essay by Janet Hitchman, Sayers' first

biographer.

eye for detail' P. D. James
