Police at the FuneralFirst published by Heinemann 1931 - dedicated " To my seven paternal uncles" |
In which we discover that Albert Campion's true first name is in fact Randolph, and that there is far more to our hero's heritage than meets the eye.
Uncle Andrew is dead, Aunt Julia is poisoned, Uncle William attacked...and once again Albert Campion, that much-loved hero of detective fiction, comes to the rescue. With her customary skill Margery Allingham takes the reader through a delightful maze of intrigue as Albert Campion, bland, blue eyed and deceptively vague, encounters the formidable Great aunt Caroline and her bizarre household of horror.
