Gaudy Night

Obscene graffiti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy greeted Harriet Vane on her return to Oxford for the ‘Gaudy’ celebrations. A graduate of ten years before and now a successful novelist, this should have been a pleasant, nostalgic visit for her—but someone had other, depraved ideas. She asks her lover, Lord Peter Wimsey, for help. Dorothy Sayers’ brilliant detective faces an explosive situation, with odds as great as murder against him.
