*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: All the Queens Of Crime had their recurring detectives of course, and Margery Allingham’s was Albert Campion, a suave sleuth of noble blood, perfectly portrayed on TV by Peter Davison. Three of our four Allingham Penguins new in this week feature Campion in typically clever murder mysteries (including the first Campion novel, The Crime At Black Dudley); the fourth book, Take Two At Bedtime, has two crime novellas of tension and suspicion. Although perfectly readable, these copies are in mixed condition; full details, including condition notes, await you in our catalogue.
