Based on characters created by Dorothy L. Sayers.
Peter Wimsey is pleased to discover that along with a Dukedom he has inherited the duties of visitor at an Oxford college.When the fellows appeal to him to resolve a dispute, he and Harriet set off happily to spend some time in Oxford. But the dispute turns out to be embittered. The voting is evenly balanced between two passionate parties, evenly balanced, that is, until several of the fellows unexpectedly die.The Warden has a casting vote, but the Warden has disappeared. And the causes of death of the deceased fellows bear an uncanny resemblance to the murder methods in Peter's past cases, methods that Harriet has used in her published novels.
