–_Sara Paretsky_

“Margaret Allingham has worked her way up to a worthy place among the tiny hierarchy of front-rankers in the detective world.”

Product Description

Campion returns from three years’ work for the War Office in Europe to find that Lugg, his manservant, has brought him an unusual gift: the black silk nightdress-clad body of a dead woman, an apparent suicide. Wanting only to get away to a well-deserved rest, Campion must instead assist Detective Chief Inspector Oates and Superintendent Yeo in unravelling a tangled plot of deception and murder as the war draws to its conclusion.
