Storm-bound over the New Year at a Fenland rectory, Lord Peter Wimsey willingly lends a hand in the ringing of a New Year's Eve peal of the church bells. Some months later, a handless, disfigured corpse is discovered in a fresh grave in the churchyard. Lord Peter receives a plea for help from the rector and embarks on one of his most complicated investigations - for this is not the first crime the village has experienced. Fifteen years ago the Wilbraham Emeralds were stolen, and they are still missing. Can there be any link?

Really sets the time and place - 1930's in the rural Fen country of England - with great characters - Dorothy Sayer's best duo sleuths - Lord Peter Wimsey and Bunter and a wonderful who-done-it plot. Very well written, a real joy.
