Everyone fell under the spell of Jimmy Sutane, the charming song-and-dance man. Everyone, that is, except the practical joker who put a pin in his stick of grease-paint and pasted 'Last Week' over the 'House Full' notices. But as soon as Albert Campion is called in to investigate, people begin to die.

Notă biografică

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 form.Her 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 fiction.Often 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.
