Description
The Attenbury Emeralds by Jill Paton Walsh and Dorothy Leigh Sayers is a pitch-perfect Golden Age mystery. Thirty years ago, Lord Peter Wimsey encountered the Attenbury emeralds, an event that launched his career as a detective. Now, in 1951, he is approached by the grandson of his first client to help solve a new mystery involving the gigantic emerald he last saw in 1921. The case proves to be the most intricate and challenging Wimsey has ever faced. With the secrets of his past revealed to his wife, Harriet Vane, Wimsey must use all his skills to unravel the complex web of clues and uncover the truth. A gem of a period puzzle, The Attenbury Emeralds is a gripping mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
