Margery Allingham: The Return of Mr. Campion (USA 1991)

From the Publisher:
DISHONOR ROLE
A jilted Japanese suitor who plots an exotic and melodic revenge...A phony fortuneteller whose bogus predictions put him behind his own crystal eight-ball...A diabolical cosmetician determined to prove that beauty is skin deep but evil goes to the bone... Now gentleman detective Albert Campion and his law-enforcing peers take on a colorful collection of felonious fiends in thirteen deliciously sinister tales of crime and punishment.

MYSTERY AT ITS BRITISH BEST
Equally at home in the underworld and among the upper crust, super-sleuth Albert Campion rarely misses a clue or fails to find a motive. Behind his horn-rimmed glasses and mild-mannered facade is a brilliant mind that can penetrate to the villainous heart of the most heinous crime.

"Miss Allingham is very, very good and those who are not familiar with her have a discovery awaiting them." -- Los Angeles Times

Margery Allingham: The Return of Mr. Campion (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
"How sad that there are no more of [Margery Allingham's] stories to which we can look forward. Not only to enjoy on publication, but to read often and often again, enjoying them anew cach time." -- Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie's lament, shared by Margery Allingham's many devoted readers, has gone unanswered -- until now. For the first time since the 1960s, Allingham fans have the opportunity to enjoy a new book by the author whom many consider to be the most gifted writer of the golden age of the detective story, a writer of the same caliber as Dorothy L. Sayers, Josephine Tey, and Agatha Christie, who carved out her own celebrated niche with her favorite detective and best-known creation, Albert Campion.

This aristocratic yet utterly unpretentious detective appears in many of these previously uncollected stories: quietly acute in "The Case Is Altered," gently charming in the shaggy dog story "The Dog Day." Margery Allingham's own wry observances on her continuing acquaintance with Campion enlighten and amuse in "What to Do with an Ageing Detective." Other beloved Allingham characters appear as well, including Detective Chief Inspector Charlie Luke (of Tiger in the Smoke) in "The Curious Affair in Not Row."
