The tranquility 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...
“My very favourite of the four Queens of crime is Allingham.” — J K Rowling
“Margery Allingham has precious few peers and no superiors.” — The Sunday Times
“The best of mystery writers.” — The New Yorker
Margery Allingham was born in Ealing, London in 1904 to a family immersed in literature. Her first novel, Blackkerchief Dick , was published in 1923 when she was 19. Her first work of detective fiction was a serialized story published by the Daily Express in 1927. Titled The White Cottage Mystery , it contained atypical themes for a woman writer of the era. Her breakthrough occurred in 1929 with the publication of The Crime at Black Dudley . This introduced Albert Campion, albeit originally as a minor character. He returned in Mystery Mile , thanks in part to pressure from her American publishers, much taken with the character. Campion proved so successful that Allingham made him the centrepiece of another 17 novels and over 20 short stories, continuing into the 1960s.
