Welcome to Litsy!

Classic Crime from the Golden Age, the second in the Albert Campion Series. Margery Allingham is J.K. Rowling's favourite Golden Age author. The notoriously deadly Simister gang is after judge Crowdy Lobbett. Lobbett managed to escape death several times already but the fear for his life is never worse when some of his close friends begin to disappear mysteriously. In a moment of utter desperation the judge turns for help to the enigmatic and unassuming amateur sleuth, Albert Campion. Campion convinces Lobbett that the safest place to hide is the remote country house in Mystery Mile in Suffolk, but the detective realises how wrong he was when strange accidents begin to happen there and the judge's life is more in danger than ever. Will Albert Campion manage to win the race against time and save Lobbett? Will he solve the enigma of the enemy's name? Mystery Mile, first published in 1930, is second of the Margery Allingham novels starring eccentric amateur sleuth, Albert Campion, and his indispensible butler and bodyguard, Magersfontein Lugg.
