In 1936, Dorothy L. Sayers abandoned the last Lord Peter Wimsey
detective story. Sixty years later, a brown paper parcel containing
a copy of the manuscript was discovered in her agent's safe in
London, and award-winning novelist Jill Paton Walsh was
commissioned to complete it. The result of the pairing of Dorothy
L. Sayers with Walsh was the international bestseller "Thrones,
Dominations.
"Now, following "A Presumption of Death," set during World War
II, comes a new Sayers-inspired mystery featuring Lord Peter
Wimsey, revisiting his very first case. . . . 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 prove who owns the
emeralds. As Harriet and Peter contemplate the changes that the war
has wrought on English society--and Peter, who always cherished the
liberties of a 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.
