The duke’s brother, Lord Peter Wimsey, attempts to prove Denver’s innocence, but why is the duke refusing to cooperate? And what does his sister, Lady Mary, know about the affair? Trying to reveal the truth, Wimsey uncovers a web of lies and deceit within the family and finds himself faced with the unhappy alternative of sending either his brother or his sister to the gallows -- until he himself becomes a target.
