A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY

John Lafcadios ambition to be known as the greatest painter since Rembrandt was not to be thwarted by a matter as trifling as his own death. A set of twelve sealed paintings is the bequest he leaves to his widow together with the instruction that she unveil one canvas each year before a carefully selected audience.

Albert Campion is among the cast of gadabouts, muses and socialites gathered for the latest ceremony but art is the last thing on the sleuths mind when a brutal stabbing occurs.

She married the artist journalist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. In 1928 Allingham published her first detective story The White Cottage Mystery and the following year in The Crime at Black Dudley she introduced the detective who was to become the hallmark of her sophisticated crime novels and murder mysteries - Albert Campion.
