About this ebook
Murder takes center stage when a song-and-dance man is targeted, in an Albert Campion whodunit from "the best of mystery writers" ( The New Yorker).
One of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction's Four Queens of Crime
"Allingham's work is always of the first rank."— The New York Times
When entertainer Jimmy Sutane falls victim to a string of malicious practical jokes, there's only one man who can get to the bottom of the apparent vendetta against the music hall darling—gentleman sleuth Albert Campion. Soon, however, the backstage pranks escalate, and an aging starlet is killed. Under pressure to uncover the culprit and plagued by his growing feelings for Sutane's wife, Campion finds himself uncomfortably embroiled in an investigation which tests his ingenuity—and integrity—to the limit.
