In 1929, author Margery Allingham brought out her first detective novel with an elegant, engaging and well-educated gentleman at its heart – Albert Campion. Her publishers instantly fell for the character and Margery went on to write 19 more Campion novels. This bundle brings you the fourth, seventh, eleventh and twelfth novels to feature her gentleman sleuth.
Police at the Funeral - reprinted, 1960
The tranquillity of Cambridge is punctured when Cousin Andrew of the illustrious Faraday family disappears without a trace. No time is wasted in summoning Albert Campion and his sleuthing skills away from the bustle of Piccadilly to investigate – but little does he expect to be greeted by a band of eccentric relatives all at daggers with each other. Soon there are as many dead bodies as there are red herrings, and Campion must uncover the secrets of the Faraday dynasty before another victim falls…
Flowers for the Judge - reprinted, 1945
Scandal, secrets and suspicions abound when one of the directors at the prestigious publishing house of Barnabas is found dead, locked in the company’s strongroom. All eyes are on the other partners at the firm – cousins of the dead man with much to gain from his demise – and all rumours hint at a connection to the disappearance of another director decades earlier. Desperate to salvage their reputation, the cousins turn to Albert Campion – but will his investigations clear the Barnabas family name, or besmirch it forever?
Traitor’s Purse - reprinted, 1954
Campion awakes in hospital accused of attacking a police officer and suffering from acute amnesia. All he can remember is that he was on a mission of vital importance to His Majesty's government before his accident. On the run from the police and unable to recognise even his faithful servant Lugg or his own fiancée, Campion struggles desperately to put the pieces together while the very fate of England is at stake.
Coroner’s Pidgin - reprinted, 1952
Just returned from years overseas on a secret mission, private detective Albert Campion is relaxing in his bath when his servant Lugg and a lady of unmistakably aristocratic bearing appear in his flat carrying the corpse of a woman. At first Campion is unwilling to get involved, but he is forced to bring his powers of protection to bear on the case, and to solve not only the mystery of the murdered woman but also the alarming disappearance of some well-known art treasures.
All of these books are originals, published by Penguin Books. All books are in fair to good condition but please note there may be corner folds, inscriptions, tears, signs of wear etc. inside some of these books and not shown in photographs (which form part of the description and are reflected in the price).
