About This Book

In The Definite Article, Margery Allingham once again delivers a gripping and intelligent mystery featuring the unassuming yet brilliant detective Albert Campion. When a seemingly insignificant object—a rare and valuable artifact—disappears under mysterious circumstances, Campion is drawn into a case that proves far more complex than it first appears.

As he delves into the mystery, Campion encounters a web of deception, greed, and hidden agendas. Each clue leads him closer to the truth, but the deeper he investigates, the more dangerous the situation becomes. With his trademark wit and keen intellect, Campion must unravel the puzzle before the stakes become deadly.

A masterfully crafted short story filled with intrigue, sharp dialogue, and Allingham's signature storytelling, The Definite Article is a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction and the enigmatic Albert Campion.
