On Remembrance Day at the Bellona Club, ninety year old General Fentiman is found dead in an armchair. While certainly unpleasant in and of itself, stranger yet is the seemingly simultaneous death of his estranged sister, Lady Dormer. Just one day before the siblings’ demise, Fentiman was called to his sister’s deathbed to discuss a substantial inheritance that depended on which of the two died first. If it was the Lady, the half-million-pound fortune would be left to the brother and by virtue, his struggling grandchildren-but if it was the General, the sole inheritor would be a distant relative named Ann Dorland. And while Dr. Penberthy able to reveal how General Fentiman died, it is up to Lord Peter Wimsey to uncover when.

An intriguing addition to a beloved series, Dorothy L. Sayers’ The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (1928) is both a captivating mystery and compelling meditation on gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey himself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers nasceu em Oxford, no Reino Unido, a 13 de julho de 1893. Foi uma das primeiras mulheres a licenciar-se pela Universidade de Oxford, em 1915, e em 1921 ingressou numa agência de publicidade, onde foi copywriter durante quase uma década. O seu interesse pela literatura de mistério iniciou-se por esta altura, tendo publicado Whose Body?, o seu primeiro romance policial, em 1923, desde logo protagonizado por Lord Peter Wimsey, detetive amador aristocrata que se tornou um dos mais famosos heróis do policial em todo o mundo. A aclamação, quer pela crítica quer pelos leitores, foi imediata, e ao longo de quase vinte anos Sayers publicou onze romances e cinco coletâneas de contos centrados nesta personagem. Em 1930, juntamente com autores como Agatha Christie, Anthony Berkeley ou G. K. Chesterton, fundou o Detection Club, clube de escritores de histórias policiais que ainda hoje se mantém. Considerada uma das maiores autoras da literatura policial do século XX, Sayers foi também professora, poeta, ensaísta, dramaturga e tradutora. Faleceu a 17 de dezembro de 1957.
