In Strong Poison, Peter Wimsey first meets Harriet Voyne as she stands trial for the murder of her lover. There is no direct evidence, but indirect evidence speaks quite convincingly of her guilt. However, Lord Peter does not want to believe the evidence. Fascinated by Harriet, he conducts his own investigation. Dorothy L. Sayers' novels about the famous detective Peter Wimsey and the writer Harriet Vane form a single story - a love story of two bright and unusual people who try to combine almost incompatible things: passion, friendship, intellectual equality and traditional family values. At the same time, they are literally haunted by mysterious crimes, which turns out to be very useful, given the professional activities of the heroes. Their lives are intertwined from a string of detective stories, forming their own bizarre plot. All novels are published in new translations prepared specially for this series by seminar participants A. Borisenko and V. Sonkin.
