Synopsis
An artist&’s legacy lives on—through murder in this Albert Campion mystery masterpiece from &“one of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists&” (The Sunday Telegraph). To vex his rival from the grave, a famous artist has left twelve paintings to be sold after his death. Each year, one painting is revealed to kick off London&’s art season. But this release party—bringing family, friends, critics, and collectors together—devolves into scandal. A power outage leaves everyone in the dark, and when the lights come back on, a man lies dead—stabbed through the heart with bejeweled scissors. Family friend Albert Campion is present during the deadly crime. The too obvious suspect is the artist&’s granddaughter, Linda Lafcadio, who was engaged to the victim until he brought back a model from Italy and married her. Linda didn&’t take his suggestion of a ménage à trois well, to say the least. But was she angry enough to kill him? Campion thinks not. He&’s actually quite sure he knows who did the dastardly deed, but there&’s no evidence to prove it. And though he&’s one step behind a diabolical killer, Campion just might be next on the list of victims . . . &“Uncommon merit in every direction . . . honestly, you can&’t go wrong with Death of a Ghost.&” —Boston Evening Transcript Praise for Margery Allingham &“Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light.&” —Agatha Christie &“The best of mystery writers.&” —The New Yorker &“Allingham was a rare and precious talent.&” —The Washington Post &“Don&’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.&” —The Independent
