A gruesome discovery at an aircraft hanger leads Albert Campion
into a turbulent mystery set in Cambridge in the middle of the Cold
War. "Ripley again marries a crafty plotline with a persuasive
evocation of Allingham's style and characterizations. Fans of the
originals will be delighted"- Publishers Weekly Starred Review "I
have often said that my wife is a constant surprise to me."
Cambridge, 1965. The honorary doctorate ceremony for Albert
Campion's wife takes a dramatic turn when Lady Amanda is arrested
by Special Branch for breaking the Official Secrets Act. Never
before having taken much interest in his wife's work in
cutting-edge aircraft design, Mr Campion sets out to discover more
about the top-secret Goshawk Project in which Amanda is involved.
He quickly realizes he is not the only one keen to learn the
secrets of the project. When a badly mutilated body is discovered
at the Goshawk Project's hangar - the result, it would appear, of a
bizarre accident - Campion is drawn into a turbulent mix of
industrial espionage and matters of national security. And as he
attempts to get to the bottom of the deadly goings-on, it seems
that the bicycles and punts are almost as dangerous as the aircraft
. . .
