Rain lashes the windows of an old London bookshop as a private auction begins. Moments later, the host is dead—stabbed with a pen, a page torn from a rare manuscript, and five suspects left in a locked room.
Lord Peter Wimsey returns in this intricately plotted homage to Dorothy L. Sayers. Inside the antiquarian shop “Parchment,” tensions rise as secrets of blackmail, forgery, and betrayal come to light. From a vanished page marked “truth” to a hidden passage behind bookcases, Wimsey must untangle lies that threaten to destroy more than just reputations.
When the murderer is finally revealed, the answer isn’t just clever—it’s chilling. Because sometimes, truth doesn’t just emerge from the shadows… it hides within them.
