Old General Fentiman is found dead in his armchair at the Bellona Club on Armistice Day, and nobody can say exactly when he died. The question matters a great deal, because his sister’s fortune passes either to him or to a young woman depending on which of them died first, and Lord Peter Wimsey is asked to settle it.
The fourth Wimsey novel, full of post-war shell shock, club life and Sayers’s sharpest dialogue. Download the free EPUB.
