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 Campion novels. Here are the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh 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.
Sweet Danger - 1st Penguin edition, 1950
Nestled along the Adriatic coastline, the kingdom of Averna has suddenly – and suspiciously – become the hottest property in Europe, and Albert Campion is given the task of recovering the long-missing proofs of ownership.
Death of a Ghost - reprinted, 1949
John Lafcadio’s ambition to be known as the greatest painter since Rembrandt was not to be thwarted by a matter as trifling as his own death. A set of 12 sealed paintings is the bequest he leaves to his widow – together with the instruction that she unveil one canvas each year before a carefully selected audience.
Flowers For The Judge - reprinted, 1957
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.
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.
