‘I adore Margery Allingham, and this is I think her finest book’ Reverend Richard Coles

Agatha Christie called her ‘a shining light’. Have you discovered Margery Allingham, the ‘true queen’ of the classic murder mystery?

A fog is creeping through the weary streets of London – so too are whispers that the Tiger is back in town, undetected by the law, untroubled by morals. And the rumours are true: Jack Havoc, charismatic outlaw, knife-wielding killer and ingenious jail-breaker, is on the loose once again.

As Havoc stalks the smog-cloaked alleyways of the city, it falls to Albert Campion to hunt down the fugitive and put a stop to his rampage – before it’s too late…

As urbane as Lord Wimsey…as ingenious as Poirot… Meet one of crime fiction’s Great Detectives, Mr Albert Campion

A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY – WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY SUSAN HILL

ISBN: 9781784701598

Out of stock

Jail-breaker and knife artist Jack Havoc is once again loose on the streets of London. Word goes around the furtive alleys and darkened pubs that the Tiger is back in town, more vicious and cunning than ever. It falls to Albert Campion to pit his wits against the killer and hunt him down before he kills again.
