''I adore Margery Allingham, and this is I think her finest book'' Reverend Richard Coles

Agatha Christie called her ''a shining light''. Have you discovered Margery Allingham, the ''true queen'' of the classic murder mystery?

A fog is creeping through the weary streets of London - so too are whispers that the Tiger is back in town, undetected by the law, untroubled by morals. And the rumours are true: Jack Havoc, charismatic outlaw, knife-wielding killer and ingenious jail-breaker, is on the loose once again.

As Havoc stalks the smog-cloaked alleyways of the city, it falls to Albert Campion to hunt down the fugitive and put a stop to his rampage - before it''s too late...

As urbane as Lord Wimsey...as ingenious as Poirot... Meet one of crime fiction''s Great Detectives, Mr Albert Campion
