About This Book

DEARLY BELOVED MURDER
Lovely Meg Elginbrodde's marriage to self-made millionaire, Geoffrey Levett, promised to be one of the season's happiest affairs. Until Meg began receiving photographs of her late husband, Martin, who had presumably been killed in World War II. Either Martin was still alive, or someone was going to a lot of trouble to make Meg think he was. Luckily Meg could call upon the services of her old friend, Albert Campion, to get to the bottom of things. For Campion, the case seemed cut and dry—until a brutal triple murder in the office of Martin's solicitor turned wedding bells to death knells and left Campion with one burning question: who was the best man for murder?

CONFIDENTIAL INVESTIGATOR: ALBERT CAMPION
A tall thin man with overly large spectacles, he is deceptively unobtrusive when tracking down a killer and uncannily capable of predicting the deadly twists of a criminal's mind. He is unquestionably a gentleman, but even Lugg, his dauntless valet, and his friends at Scotland Yard don't know all the secrets in Campion's past -- or the confidential cases he has covertly solved while in His Majesty's Service.
