Opis

It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey encountered the Attenbury emeralds. Now it is 1951: a married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane. Then the new young Lord Attenbury seeks his help again, this time to prove who owns the emerald that Wimsey last saw in 1921.

Recenzje

A pitch-perfect Golden Age mystery; not a pastiche but a gem of a period puzzle that belongs on the shelf beside the Wimsey originals. Financial Times
