Wszyscy miłośnicy Herkulesa Piorota z pewnością pokochają także Alberta Campiona. Ten niezwykłe inteligentny i błyskotliwy detektyw amator, bohater siedemnastu powieści Margery Allingham, z pomocą służącego, Lugga – zresztą byłego włamywacza – rozwiązuje równie skomplikowane zagadki jak te, z którymi przyszło się zmierzyć słynnemu Belgowi…

When Albert Campion is called in by the fiancee of an old college friend to investigate the disappearance of her uncle, he little expects the mysterious spate of death and dangers that follows among the bizarre inhabitants of Socrates Close, Cambridge. He and Stanislaus Oates must tread carefully, and battle some complex family dynamics, to solve the case.
