      ''D. L. Sayers is one of the best detective story writers'' Daily Telegraph

      Harriet Vane has never dared to return to her old Oxford college. Now, despite her scandalous life, she has been summoned back . . .

      At first she thinks her worst fears have been fulfilled, as she encounters obscene graffiti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy when she arrives at sedate Shrewsbury College for the ''Gaudy'' celebrations.

      But soon, Harriet realises that she is not the only target of this murderous malice - and asks Lord Peter Wimsey to help.

      ''She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.'' P. D. James
