"Following the death of the senior English master in a tragic road accident, Mr Campions son Rupert and daughter-in-law Perdita are helping out at Ash Grange School for Boys, where Perditas godfather is headmaster. While Perdita is directing the end-of-term play, a musical version of Dr Faustus, Rupert is tackling the schools rugby football team and both of them are finding their allotted tasks more of a challenge than they had anticipated. When the headmaster telephones Albert Campion to inform him that Rupert has been arrested, Mr Campion heads to Yorkshire to get to the bottom of the matter. There are no secrets in the traditional mining village of Denby Ash, hes told but on uncovering reports of a disruptive poltergeist, a firebrand trade unionist, a missing conman and a local witch, he finds thats far from being the case. And was the English master, Mr Brownes, death really an accident...?"--Amazon.com.

A worthy successor to Allingham submitted by mowjac on June 21, 2023, 3:28pm I don't always think it's a good idea for other writers to write books about iconic characters after their creator is dead, but I found this charming, and clever. It's good to have Albert Campion back.
