Mystery Anthology

Three perplexing puzzles - and three inimitable Wimsey solutions - told with wit, humor, and suspense.

In "Striding Folly", a frightening dream provides a haunting premonition. A house numbered 13 is in a street of even numbers, and a dead man was never alive in "The Haunted Policeman." And "Talboys" sees Lord Peter's own children accused of theft.
