The fourth book of a series telling of the adventures of the amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey who uncovers the mysterious death of a member at the prestigious London gentleman’s club, Bellona.

Original black cloth, spine and upper board lettered and decorated in orange (negligible wear, a few marks to one corner); original printed dust-jacket (two spots on flaps, head of spine a little frayed and with one short tear, a few trivial nicks to extremities).
