Publisher's summary
It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey first encountered the Attenbury emeralds. The recovery of the magnificent gem in Lord Attenbury's most dazzling heirloom made headlines - and launched a shell-shocked young aristocrat on his career as a detective.
Now it is 1951. A happily married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane. Then the new young Lord Attenbury - grandson of Lord Peter's first client - seeks his help again, this time to prove who owns the gigantic emerald that Wimsey last saw in 1921.
It will be the most intricate and challenging mystery he has ever faced....

A terrific mystery- worthy of Sayers
Jill Paton Walsh has done a superb job of imagining Peter in his sixties recounting the tale of his first attempt at sleuthing. The story moves on to a very clever, well developed tale full of convoluted twists and developments that really could have come from the pen of Sayers. The narration is mostly very good, but the mood and tone has an elegiac air that pervades the reading and occasionally becomes rather wearisime at times. Nevertheless I enjoyed the story enormously, and would thoroughly recommend to lovers of complex mysteries and Peter Wimsey.
