The Nine Tailors, by Dorothy Sayers

(Paperback, 416 pages, first published in 1934)

The Nine Tailors is Dorothy L. Sayers's finest mystery, featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, and a classic of the genre.

The nine tellerstrokes from the belfry of an ancient country church toll out the death of an unknown man and call the famous Lord Peter Wimsey to investigate the good and evil that lurks in every person. Steeped in the atmosphere of a quiet parish in the strange, flat fen-country of East Anglia, this is a tale of suspense, character, and mood by an author critics and readers rate as one of the great masters of the mystery novel.
