A custom-made killer shocks the fashionable London set in "one of the finest murder books ever written" featuring gentleman sleuth Albert Campion (
The New Yorker).
One of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction's Four Queens of Crime
"Top ranking whodunit in Dorothy Sayers tradition.... Plus sale for non-mysteryites as first-rate novel of fashionable London. Suspense-humor-well planned, well written."-
Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
Albert Campion's sister is a success in her own right. A top fashion designer, she works for a legendary couturier and dresses Georgia Wells, the best-dressed actress in the world. Albert also has a connection to Georgia, but his is based on failure, not success. Georgia's former fiancé disappeared nearly three years ago, and Campion has never been able to find him. Until now...
The victim's remains-discovered by Campion in a deserted country house-point to suicide. But the man's father assumes it was foul play. In a rarified world of wealth and privilege where silence and secrets can be bought, the investigation won't be easy, especially when another death takes center stage. This time, the victim is Georgia's current husband-and starring in the role of prime suspect: Albert's sister.
Praise for Margery Allingham
"Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light."-Agatha Christie
"The best of mystery writers."-
The New Yorker
"Allingham was a rare and precious talent."-
The Washington Post
