When a young man falls into a quarry, it takes nine days to find the body. When rowdy hippies descend on the village, they're given nine days to leave. When an outspoken schoolmaster is kidnapped for nine days, he stays eerily quiet after his release. Now Albert Campion has come to town, meaning to investigate all this strangeness. But whoever is behind the unusual goings on quickly makes it very clear that his nosing around is not welcome. Undeterred by threats, Campion is determined to expose the criminal masterminds hiding in this sleepy village. When Allinham's husband Philip Youngman Carter died in 1969, he left the Allingham archive to the Margery Allingham Society, crime writer Mike Ripley offered to complete the unfinished manuscript of 'Mr Campion's Farewell'. Quite a scarce book.

When it came to the Abdication Crisis in '36 those dirty weekends in Heronhoe were quickly forgotten, except not by the Prince. The story goes that when he married Mrs Simpson, in 1937 that would be, he actually sent a valuable thank you gift to Heronhoe. That was what became known as the Abdication Treasure although there's no record of anything going to Heronhoe Hall, or of anybody ever receiving anything from the Duke of Windsor and nobody anywhere claims to have actually seen anything resembling treasure. So how is Albert Campion involved? You said the treasure doesn't exist. It doesn't, Lord Breeze said firmly, and I have been instructed to tell you to tell Campion, that unless he wants to risk embarrassing Buckingham Palace, he'd better lay off. There's no such thing as the Abdication Treasure, so there's nothing to find and Campion had better make sure he doesn't find it!

He's very concerned about his eighteen year old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son Rupert, to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up and coming photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the Ambassador's daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of Margery Allingham's regular characters, from Campion's former manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allingham's many fans. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric. When Margery Allingham's husband Philip Youngman Carter died in 1969, he left the Allingham archive to the Margery Allingham Society, crime writer Mike Ripley offered to complete the unfinished manuscript of 'Mr Campion's Farewell'.
