What this book is about
The fourth Albert Campion mystery is one of Allingham's most purely adventurous: Campion is recruited to help establish the claim to a small Balkan principality by finding a cache of documents, and the search leads him to a quiet English village where local interests collide dangerously with the international intrigue. Amanda Fitton—one of Allingham's finest creations—makes her memorable first appearance here as a young woman of extraordinary competence and spirit. Playful, fast-paced, and full of the affectionate eccentricity that defines Allingham's best work.
