The Lord Peter Wimsey Short Story Collection 4 - Striding Folly

Dorothy L Sayers' amateur sleuth returns in this collection of three stories, featuring a brand new introduction from crime writer Catriona McPherson. A must-read for fans of the inimitable Lord Peter Wimsey, as well Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries**.**

'D. L. Sayers is one of the best detective story writers' Daily Telegraph

Three of Lord Peter Wimsey's most baffling cases demonstrate his unique detection skills at their most spectacular . . .

The engima of a house numbered thirteen in a street of even numbers; an indignant child accused of theft, a dream about a game of chess that uncovers the true story behind a violent death.

Each of the stories introduces a different side of the twentieth century's most ingenious detective hero, and this book also features a biographical essay by Janet Hitchman, Sayers' first biographer.

'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.' P. D. James
