A request from the Danish Ambassador leads Albert Campion into a
baffling murder case in this finely crafted historical mystery. The
Danish Ambassador has requested Albert Campion's help on 'a
delicate family matter'. He's very concerned about his
eighteen-year-old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most
unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son, Rupert,
to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion
notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up-and-coming
photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the
Ambassador's daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a
body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of
Margery Allingham's regular characters, from Campion's former
manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this
witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allingham's many fans.
The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the
climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric.
