The fifteen short stories in this lively and witty collection, Dorothy L. Sayerss very best, celebrate the breadth of Peter Wimseys career as Londons most celebrated amateur sleuth. From the foppish man about town of 'In the Teeth of the Evidence', to the happily married man in 'The Haunted Policeman', to the father of three in 'Talboys', Wimsey kept that twinkle in his eye and the brilliance of mind that helped him spot a clue a mile off.
