Mr Campion & Others

Allingham, Margery

£9.99

Unconventional sleuth Albert Campion must deftly pick his way through a menagerie of misdeeds: from the burglar who steals no valuables but leaves a cryptic note for his victim, to the scandal of the twice-stolen pearls, to the mystery of a mirror bearing an SOS message scrawled in lipstick. Each case of high-society skulduggery more puzzling than the last, this collection sees Campion calling upon all of his considerable skills of detection and logical prowess.

Description

A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY
Agatha Christie called her ‘a shining light’. Have you discovered Margery Allingham, the ‘true queen’ of the classic murder mystery?

A baker’s dozen of cases, each putting Albert Campion through his paces. In this miscellany of villainy, our unconventional sleuth must contend with misbehaving debutantes, sinister smuggling rings, a Dowager Countess who’s not all that she seems, an SOS message daubed in lipstick, a beleaguered New York socialite, and an elderly Egyptologist indulging in some bad behaviour?
