Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.Lord Peter Wimsey, wealthy, charming and charismatic, is one of the most famous amateur detectives of the golden age of crime. This Macmillan Collector's Library Edition is edited and introduced by crime expert David Stuart Davies.The fifteen stories in this lively and witty collection are not only Dorothy L. Sawyer's very best, but they also celebrate the breadth of Peter Wimsey's literary career as London's most celebrated amateur sleuth. From the foppish man about town 'In the Teeth of Evidence', to the happily married man in 'The Haunted Policeman', to the father of three in 'Talboys', Wimsey kept that twinkle in his eye and the brilliance of mind that can spot a clue a mile off.
