No mention is made, for a considerable period, of the Great War. He immediately gets to work on a curious case when an acquaintance discovers an unidentified corpse in his bathtub and enlists Lord Peter to figure out what’s happened. Sayers introduces Lord Peter Wimsey to the world: an affable, good-humored young man with a fairly keen ability for deduction and a talent and passion for detective work, although he (unlike many fictional sleuths) confesses some misgivings about the role he plays in sending people to the gallows.

Sherpa had other ideas… as documented through this post.
