The Case of the Late Pig

Relish a BRIEF ENCOUNTER with one of the 'Queens of Crime', Margery Allingham, and her fiendishly brilliant, brutal, but deeply entertaining novella of Middle England, in the midst of a murder spree.

A fiendishly brutal but brilliant, charming English murder mystery, from Agatha Christie's favourite writer - the criminally underrated, Margery Allingham.

Private detective Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral. Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peters's body goes missing. It takes all Campion's coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime.
