Margery Louisa Ellingham was an English writer who belonged to the "Golden Age of English Literature," recognized as the "Queen of Detective Fiction" alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, and Ngaio Marsh. She stood out among other authors of the genre, as Agatha Christie put it, "like a burning lamp." Ellingham is best known for her books about the gentleman detective Albert Campion. This volume includes the eleventh and twelfth novels in her main series, as well as a collection of short stories, "Mr. Campion's Lucky Day."
Coroner's Care
World War II continues. Mr. Campion, who was on a secret mission abroad, is given a long-awaited leave. He returns to London, looking forward to reuniting with his wife and young son, but finds his apartment... a branch of the morgue. Moreover, his friend—an aristocrat, philanthropist, and now a military pilot—faces murder charges.
Undertaker Urgently Needed
A boarding house owner, concerned about the sudden death of a guest, asks her old acquaintance, Albert Campion, to help solve a possible crime. Near her home is a coffin workshop, and one day the detective notices a luxurious coffin with the name of an already buried person on the plaque. Even stranger is the undertaker's explanation: he created this masterpiece of funerary art out of respect for the gentleman while he was still alive...
Mr. Campion's Lucky Day and Other Stories
The Detective Inspector's solution to yet another murder seemed a done deal—until his friend Albert showed up at the scene. It immediately became clear that the only suspect had an airtight alibi, and the real villain had left no trace. But perhaps this time pure luck will come to the rescue of the amateur detective?
