HANGMAN'S HOLIDAY

BUSMAN'S HONEYMOON

Lord Peter Wimsey arranged a quiet country honeymoon with Harriet Vane, but what should have been an idyllic holiday in an ancient farmhouse takes on a new and unwelcome aspect with the discovery of the previous owner's body in the cellar.

GAUDY NIGHT

Obscene graffiti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy greeted Harriet Vane on her return to Oxford. A graduate of ten years before and now a successful novelist, this should have been a pleasant, nostalgic visit for her. She asks her lover, Lord Peter Wimsey, for help.

HAVE HIS CARCASE

When Harriet Vane discovers a body on a beach she becomes a possible murder suspect. Lord Peter Wimsey is eager to help her clear her name.

LORD PETER VIEWS THE BODY

Twelve cases of murder, and each a mystery for Lord Peter. As he gathers his clues, he reveals a gruesome but absolutely bewitching side rarely shown to readers in his full-length adventures.

THE MAN BORN TO BE KING

Dorothy L. Sayers was best known for her mystery novels featuring aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. But she was also a poet, playwright and committed Christian, and in The Man Born to Be King she combined art and evangelism to powerful effect, making the story of Christ accessible, relevant and every bit as thrilling as her detective fiction. Written specially for the BBC Radio, the play cycle caused huge controversy for its depiction of Christ as a character, and its use of contemporary speech instead of Biblical language. However it proved extremely popular with listeners, who wrote in to thank Sayers for making Jesus real to them and reigniting their interest in his remarkable story.

MURDER MUST ADVERTISE

Victor Dean falls to his death on the stairs of Pym's Advertising Agency, and no one is sorry. That is until Lord Peter Wimsey joins the firm and asks some awkward questions. Finding himself involved in a web of blackmail and drugs, more must die before the sinister plot can be unravelled.

THE NINE TAILORS

When his sexton finds a corpse in the wrong grave, the rector of Fenchurch St Paul asks Lord Peter Wimsey to find out who the dead man was and how he came to be there. And so he embarks on one of his most complicated investigations.

A PRESUMPTION OF DEATH

During the 1940s Blitz in London, Lord Peter Wimsey is conducting secret business for the Foreign Office. Meanwhile, in the country, Harriet is shocked by the murder of a young Land Girl.

STRONG POISON

Can Lord Peter Wimsey prove that Harriet Vane is not guilty of murder - or find the real poisoner in time to save her from the gallows? Impossible, it seems. The police are adamant that the right person is on trial. The judge's summing-up is also clear. Harriet Vane is guilty of the killing her lover. And Harriet Vane shall hang... But the jury disagrees.

THRONES, DOMINATIONS

Lord Peter Wimsey and his wife Harriet Vane, the detective story writer, are settling into their new life together in London. It is 1936, and London is a social whirl for the fashionable and wealthy. When murder strikes, Harriet becomes drawn into a case which casts an unexpected light on her own life with Peter.
