About the Author
MARGERY ALLINGHAM was born in London in 1904. She sold her first story at age 8 and published her first novel before turning 20. She married the artist, journalist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. In 1928 Allingham published her first detective story, The White Cottage Mystery, and the following year, in The Crime at Black Dudley, she introduced the detective who was to become the hallmark of her sophisticated crime novels and murder mysteries -- Albert Campion. Famous for her London thrillers, such as Hide My Eyes and The Tiger in the Smoke, Margery Allingham has been compared to Dickens in her evocation of the city's shady underworld. Acclaimed by crime novelists such as P.D. James, Allingham is counted alongside Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie and Gladys Mitchell as a pre-eminent Golden Age crime writer. Margery Allingham died in 1966.
Review
“Allingham has that rare gift in a novelist, the creation of characters so rich and so real that they stay with the reader forever.”
–Sara Paretsky
“Margaret Allingham has worked her way up to a worthy place among the tiny hierarchy of front-rankers in the detective world.”
–Tatler

Just back in wartime London from a gruelling mission, Albert Campion savours the prospect of a long hot bath and a long rest in the country. But, stepping out of the bathroom, he finds valet Magersfontein Lugg entertaining a roomful of ladies ? one a Dowager Marchioness, one a beautiful young girl, and the third a decidedly dead corpse. Campion becomes entangled in a baffling sequence of events involving missing art treasure, crates of vintage wine, and a number of strangely reticent aristodcrats.* This is a NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st./1st. with absolutely minimal age reducing it to VG++.* 1993-12-02. n.
