Striding Folly (Mystery Masters)

These three short stories display the talents of Dorothy L. Sayers and those of her irrepressible detective, Lord Peter Wimsey, to the best effect. The enigma of a house numbered thirteen in a street of even numbers, something nasty in the furnace-room, and a dream about a game of chess. From each of these disturbing puzzles, Wimsey slowly but surely extracts a number of vital clues.
