    Hangman's Holiday

    Dorothy L Sayers

    Formats & Editions

    Poisoned port . . . pet cats in peril . . . purloined pearls . . .

    Lord Peter Wimsey solves the mysteries of the man who was blown

    into the fourth dimension and the murder in fancy dress. He pursues

    miscreants across several countries and into unexpected hiding places.

    Dorothy L. Sayers' other detective, Montague Egg, encounters a fugitive

    murderer and uncovers a killer in an Oxford cloister. The travelling salesman

    extraordinaire solves puzzles with a unique combination of matter-of-fact

    practicality and brilliant deduction.

    'She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.' Minette Walters
