Lord Peter Wimsey, stranded in a New–Year’s Eve snowstorm ca. 1930 in the fens of eastern England, becomes the guest of a local clergyman, an adept enthusiast of the esoteric, mathematical art of change–ringing the eight swinging bells of his magnificent medieval church.
Wimsey is pressed into service to assist with a heroic and historic all–night peal to welcome the new year. A few months later the vicar, having learned of Wimsey’s reputation as a sleuth, summons him back to the village to investigate a mysterious body newly discovered in the churchyard, an unknown man secretly buried, who had apparently died about the time of Wimsey’s first visit.
A much earlier jewel robbery, details of church architecture, unclaimed letters from a French farm, and peculiarities of canon law are only a few of the further pieces of the puzzle which Wimsey must put together.
