Beschreibung

A lively British mystery from "one of the greatest mid-20th-century practitioners of the detective novel" (Alexander McCall Smith).

Strange things are happening in Saltey. The little village on the Essex coast is invaded by bikers and a parade of peculiar visitors, a newly released prisoner is rumored to be in the area, Mr. Lugg has bought a bungalow there, the Saltey Demon is on the loose again . . . and Albert Campion is looking for the disappearance of thousands of pounds of gold coinage.

This is Margery Allingham's final novel featuring her famous gentleman sleuth, overflowing with evil arch-villains and classic thuggery against the atmospheric backdrop of postwar England.

"Allingham has that rare gift in a novelist, the creation of characters so rich and so real that they stay with the reader forever." --Sara Paretsky

"Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light." --Agatha Christie

Über den Autor

Margery Allingham (1904-1966) was an English novelist and one of the leading figures of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Best known for creating the gentleman sleuth Albert Campion, Allingham brought wit, psychological insight, and social nuance to the traditional mystery [...] Campion novels-beginning with The Crime at Black Dudley and developing through works such as Tiger in the Smoke-blend intricate plotting with sharply observed portraits of British society between the wars and beyond. As the series progressed, Campion evolved from a seemingly lighthearted adventurer into a more complex and reflective figure, mirroring the deepening tone of Allingham's [...] grouped with contemporaries such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, Allingham distinguished herself through atmospheric writing and an interest in character as much as puzzle. Her work remains central to twentieth-century British crime literature and continues to attract devoted readers of classic detective fiction.
