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 "Don't start reading these
books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction." — The
Independent
