'"I should imagine this was murder, too, because it would be very
difficult to build yourself into a heap of sandbags and then
die..."' In the blackout conditions of a wintry London night,
amateur sleuth Agnes Kinghof and a young air-raid warden have
stumbled upon a corpse stowed in the walls of their street's bomb
shelter. As the police begin their investigation, the night is
interrupted once again when Agnes's upstairs neighbour Mrs Sibley
is terrorised by the sight of a grisly pig's head at her
fourth-floor window. With the discovery of more sinister threats
mysteriously signed 'Pig-sticker', Agnes and her husband Andrew -
unable to resist a good mystery - begin their investigation to
deduce the identity of a villain living amongst the tenants of
their block of flats. A witty and lighthearted mystery full of
intriguing period detail, this rare gem of Golden Age crime returns
to print for the first time since its publication in 1943.
