Synopsis

In this, Ms. Allingham's last novel, the action revolves around Saltey, for centuries a hidey-hole for all manner of villains. Astonishingly, it is the early 1960s, and Saltey, like many English coastal towns, is being over-run by teenage gangs. But that's not why Albert Campion - now, really astonishingly, in late middle-age - has persuaded Lugg to take up residence. His interest lies in part with the just-out-of-prison thief who has (in time-honored tradition) gone to ground in Saltey. But his most passionate interest is reserved for the curious, newly revived story of the Saltey Demon.

Review

"A perfectly wonderful writer" (Scotsman)

"Margery Allingham has precious few peers and no superiors" (Sunday Times)

"One of the finest “golden age” crime novelists" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Miss Allingham has a strong, well controlled sense of humour, a power of suggesting character with a few touches and an excellent English style. She has a sense of the fantastic, and is never dull" (Times Literary Supplement)
