Mr Campion & others

Description:

A baker's dozen of cases, each putting Albert Campion through his paces. In this miscellany of villainy, our unconventional sleuth must contend with misbehaving debutantes, sinister smuggling rings, a Dowager Countess who's not all that she seems, an SOS message daubed in lipstick, a beleaguered New York socialite, and an elderly Egyptologist indulging in some bad behaviour. Contents: The widow -- The name on the wrapper -- The hat trick -- The question mark -- The old man in the window -- The white elephant -- The Frenchman's gloves -- The longer view -- Safe as houses -- The definite article -- The meaning of the act -- A matter of form -- The danger point.
