Lord Peter Wimsey must clear his brother of murder before a sensational trial destroys the family name. When Captain Denis Cathcart is found shot outside the Wimsey family's Yorkshire hunting lodge, suspicion immediately falls upon Gerald, Duke of Denver. The duke was discovered kneeling beside the body, his revolver lay nearby, and he refuses to explain why he was wandering outside in the middle of the night. Matters become still worse when Lady Mary, the dead man's fiancée, offers testimony that appears to condemn her own brother.
Lord Peter is convinced that the obvious solution conceals a far more complicated truth. With his devoted valet Bunter and Detective Inspector Charles Parker, he begins untangling a web of secret engagements, midnight meetings, romantic betrayals, and respectable lies. The investigation eventually carries him from the family estate to Paris and finally to the House of Lords, where the Duke of Denver must stand trial before his peers. Witty, intricately plotted, and rich in social observation, Clouds of Witness is the second mystery featuring Dorothy L. Sayers's celebrated aristocratic detective.
