Cambridge, 1965. Albert Campion's wife, Lady Amanda, is arrested by Special Branch for breaking the Official Secrets Act - all part of her elaborate plan to catch the person responsible for leaking sensitive aeronautical research from Alandel Aeroplanes. But her plan did not account for a bizarre and gruesome industrial accident at the hangar .
A gruesome discovery at an aircraft hanger leads Albert Campion into a turbulent mystery set in Cambridge in the middle of the Cold War.

"Ripley again marries a crafty plotline with a persuasive evocation of Allingham's style and characterizations. Fans of the originals will be delighted"- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"I have often said that my wife is a constant surprise to me."

Cambridge, 1965. The honorary doctorate ceremony for Albert Campion's wife takes a dramatic turn when Lady Amanda is arrested by Special Branch for breaking the Official Secrets Act.

Never before having taken much interest in his wife's work in cutting-edge aircraft design, Mr Campion sets out to discover more about the top-secret Goshawk Project in which Amanda is involved. He quickly realizes he is not the only one keen to learn the secrets of the project.

When a badly mutilated body is discovered at the Goshawk Project's hangar - the result, it would appear, of a bizarre accident - Campion is drawn into a turbulent mix of industrial espionage and matters of national security. And as he attempts to get to the bottom of the deadly goings-on, it seems that the bicycles and punts are almost as dangerous as the aircraft . . .

Mike Ripley has twice won the Crime Writers' Association's Last Laugh Award, and is the author of twenty-four comedy thrillers and historical novels. He writes a hugely respected monthly review column for Shots Magazine and is also the author of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which won the H.R.F. Keating Award for non-fiction. With Mr Campion's Farewell, he completed a manuscript left unfinished in 1969 by Margery Allingham's widower, Pip Youngman Carter. He regards the follow-ups including Mr Campion's Visit, Mr Campion's Séance and Mr Campion's Coven as his attempts 'to fly solo with, and do justice to, a great fictional character'.
