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). 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. “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 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
