Description

On November 11, ninety-year-old Common Fentiman is located dead within an armchair in the Bellona Club. No body knows precisely when his demise occurred—information important in identifying the beneficiary of a considerable inheritance. But that's just one of the secrets vexing Lord Peter Wimsey. The aristocratic sleuth wants just of his incredible abilities to find out why the happy official's lapel was lacking the required red poppy on Armistice Day, the way the Bellona Club's phone was set without a technician, and, most complicated of, why the fantastic man's leg thrown readily once the rest of him was stiff with rigor mortis.
