Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey's cases. When a church architect finds a naked man in his Battersea bathroom, Lord Peter Wimsey is on the case! The aristocratic amateur detective, accompanied by his camera-bearing manservant Bunter, follows a trail of blood as he pursues stock market manipulation, medical malpractice, and Lord Brocklebury’s edition of Dante. But the curious case of the bathing body turns darker and deadlier as Lord Peter uncovers a ghastly crime. Published in 1923, Whose Body? was Dorothy L. Sayers’ debut novel. Bill Peschel provided hundreds of footnotes to guide the reader through Lord Peter's world, describing words, objects and ideas that were familiar to Sayers' readers but obscure or unknown today.
