Description
“Pop has never talked about what he did in the war … Whatever he did, it was pretty secret stuff”: the intriguing new Albert Campion mystery.
Campions young and old, extended family members and loyal friends are gathered at the Dorchester Hotel to celebrate Albert Campion’s seventieth birthday – along with some intriguing, unrecognizable guests. Who exactly are the mysterious, aristocratic, scar-faced German, Freiherr Robert von Ringer, and the elegantly chic Madame Thibus – and what is their connection to Mr Campion?

Why here, and why now? Not least as Campion’s shocking revelations have repercussions which reverberate to the present day, putting one of his guests in deadly danger . . .

Mike Ripley continues Margery Allingham's Albert Campion mysteries with Mr. Campion's War. At Campion's 70th birthday party, the assembled guests learn about his activities in Vichy France during World War II. Switching between 1942 and 1970 the past in gradually revealed with echoes playing forward at the party. Great wartime cloak and dagger adventure. Well worth reading.
