By (author): Margery Allingham

A fog is creeping through the weary streets of London - so too are whispers that the Tiger is back in town, undetected by the law, untroubled by morals. And the rumours are true: Jack Havoc, charismatic outlaw, knife-wielding killer and ingenious jail-breaker, is on the loose once again.

As Havoc stalks the smog-cloaked alleyways of the city, it falls to Albert Campion to hunt down the fugitive and put a stop to his rampage - before it''s too late...

As urbane as Lord Wimsey...as ingenious as Poirot... Meet one of crime fiction''s Great Detectives, Mr Albert Campion

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. Famous for her London thrillers such as Hide My Eyes and The Tiger in the Smoke Margery Allingham has been compared to Dickens in her evocation of the city''s shady underworld. Acclaimed by crime novelists such as P.D. James Allingham is counted alongside Dorothy L. Sayers Agatha Christie and Gladys Mitchell as a pre-eminent Golden Age crime writer.
