Mr Campion and OthersFirst published by William Heinemann ltd. 1939 |
An old-time baker's dozen of stories, in which Albert Campion - with or without the help of the lugubrious Superintendent Oates - relieves friends and acquaintances from the inconveniences of assault, blackmail, confidence tricks and the like.
As the Superintendent remarks at the close of a short sharp case of espionage: 'Campion, you frighten me. Something looks after you.'
Something does, and it's generally Campion's legion of disreputable friends.
