Clouds of Witness
by Dorothy L. Sayers
When the blood defiled his last name, Lord Peter fought to save what was most precious to him After spending three months in Corsica, Lord Peter Wimsey began to forget that England's grey, dangerous Moors existed. But as he wanders around Paris, he experiences a shock that pushes him back to the truth. He sees this in the headlines that have spilled over into every British newspaper – his brother Gerald has been arrested for murder. The trouble began at the family estate in Yorkshire, where Gerald was hunting with her husband, who would soon become his son-in-law, Captain Denis Cathcart. One night, Gerald confronts accusations about Cathcart's heartbreaking past, forcing the captain to remember the wedding. Just hours later, Cathcart died, and Gerald was considered the only one who could fire a fatal shot. The clock is ticking, and only the main plumes of England can descend to the bottom of this muddy mystery.
