Inglewood Turrets, an expensive anachronism in the leafy outskirts of North London is a cross between St Pancreas Station and Holloway Gaol, and the house where the formidable Miss Charlotte Cambric recreates Victorian elegance for foreign culture-vultures. Vassily Kopeck, the half-Russian, half-Polish physicist and an 'attache of sorts', disappears as effectively as a cat who turns a corner in a London fog after a visit to The Turrets - and thereby becomes a wanted man. Then Felix Perdreau, the flamboyant rare book dealer and friend of Kopeck also goes missing, making a case for Albert Campion, who cannot resist a mystery...

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Jacket by Philip Youngman Carter (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some edge wear, chipping, short closed tears and creasing to top and bottom of largely white jacket and spine, creased tear repaired with strip of white paper to bottom back jacket, corners rubbed and bruised with small loss, some slight yellowing and spotting to white parts of jacket. Price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy for its age. 233pp. Philip Youngman Carter collaborated with his wife, the late Margery Allingham (1904-66), in many of her books over a period of forty years. 'Mr. Campion's Farthing' based on an idea originated by her, is the first novel to be written by him. Inglewood Turrets is a bizarre treasure of Victorian gothic art, standing in extensive grounds some twenty miles from London. Its chatelaine is Miss Charlotte Cambric, a determined lady who, with a nice blend of charm, improvisation and bluff, contrives to keep it solvent as an unusual kind of country club. Her guests are mostly solemn groups of foreigners who come eagerly to imbibe the High Victorian period atmosphere that Miss Cambric so sedulously preserves; her only enemy, she supposes, is a property development tycoon with designs on the estate. But one day she harbours a defecting Russian scientist and finds that she is playing quite out of her league. Seller Inventory # 010789
