Mystery and Crime 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.

the US practices the rule of life+70 years (and everything published before 1923, i believe). however Canada, where the MR servers are located, is a life+50 country.

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