Albert Campion travels to Dorset as he attempts to get to the
bottom of a series of shocking events connected to a TV adaptation
of one of Evadne Childe's famous novels. "Ripley's brilliant
inventiveness demonstrates that golden age characters and tropes
can still work for contemporary fair-play fans"- Publishers Weekly
Starred Review London, 1972. The Evadne Childe Society has gathered
in honour of what would have been the author's eighty-second
birthday, and Albert Campion is there as a reluctant guest speaker
and ceremonial birthday cake cutter. But Campion's oratory skills
aren't the only thing in demand. A TV remake of a twenty-year-old
film adaptation of one of Evadne's classic novels, The Moving
Mosaic, has been derailed by someone attempting to murder the
leading man - the latest in a series of increasingly disturbing
incidents - and the society wants Campion to investigate. Who is
determined to sabotage the production at any cost, and why?
Travelling to the picturesque village of Kingswalter Manor in
Dorset where filming is due to start, Campion soon stumbles upon
dark secrets, ghosthunters, an impressive mosaic, and murder.
