Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.

In a shocking scandal, the like of which has not been seen in the English aristocracy since the eighteenth century, Lord Peter Wimsey's elder brother, the Duke of Denver, stands accused of murder. Lord Peter is determined to prove his brother's innocence, yet finds him strangely uncooperative. Furthermore, other family members apparently oppose Peter's attempts to get to the truth. His sister, Lady Mary, seems to know more than she is letting on - could the Duke be protecting her? In collaboration with Inspector Parker, Wimsey slowly uncovers a web of lies and deceit within his own family, and finds himself faced with the unhappy alternative of sending either his brother or his sister to the gallows. Until he himself becomes a target... Patricia Routledge plays the Dowager Duchess in this classic dramatisation, alongside Maria Aitken as Lady Mary and Miriam Margolyes as Mrs Hardraw.

Praise for Clouds of Witness

A blow-by-blow account of the fateful day. I couldn't put it down.

Independent

'Gripping . The hour-by-hour account is packed with fascinating and often poignant vignettes'

Daily Express, 5 stars

Kershaw writes well and makes sense of the battle ... a clear and straightforward military view.

Literary Review

Shows us the battle at its grittiest and bloodiest, but through it all manages to maintain a grip on the bigger picture.

Scotsman

So where does this leave Robert Kershaw's 24 Hours at Waterloo? Very simply, in a class of its own ... brings the events to life with judiciously chosen first-hand accounts ... there could be no better companion to the battlefield than Kershaw's.
