It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey first encountered the Attenbury
Emeralds. The recovery of the gems in Lord Attenbury's dazzling
heirloom collection made headlines -- and launched a shell-shocked
young aristocrat on his career as a detective. Thirty years later,
a happily married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that
mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane.
Suddenly, the new Lord Attenbury -- grandson of Lord Peter's first
client -- seeks his help to establish ownership of the emeralds.
Harriet and Peter contemplate the changes that war has wrought on
English society -- and Peter, who has enjoyed the carefree life of
the younger son, faces the unwanted prospect of ending up the Duke
of Denver after all. Jill Paton Walsh brings us a masterful new
chapter in the annals of one of the greatest detectives of all
time.
