Sayers, Dorothy L: Strong Poison, v.1, 26 August 2008.
Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957)
Strong Poison (1930) A mystery novel, now in the public domain in life+50 years countries. Lord Peter Wimsey finds the woman of his dreams, Harriet Vane. Unfortunately, she is on trial for her life, accused of poisoning a former lover. Can he save her life? Is she innocent? If so, who did it? I couldn’t resist adding a pulp-style cover. The antithetical juxtaposition between the traditional Golden Age detective and the American pulp was agreeably daft. |

I think the poster was asking whether he could legally download it, living in the US. The answer is "no".
