Warning: know your Allingham! April 17, 2006
Christopher Twelvetrees (USA)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Albert Campion started his literary life as a seemingly extraneous figure in a curious book called _The Crime at Black Dudley_ (aka The Black Dudley Murder), where he inexplicably solves the crime rather than the hero. After that, he goes through a series of free-wheeling adventures -- ably assisted by his servant, ex-convict Lugg and Inspector Stanislas Oates. These books, a lot of fun and more thriller than detective oriented, include _Look to the Lady_ (aka Gyrth Chalice Mystery) and _Mystery Mile_. One of the most fun but least detective-oriented is _Sweet Danger_ (The Fear Sign, Kingdom of Death) where he meets a girl called Amanda.
Personally, I find subsequent Campion adventures less interesting, and Campion himself becomes rather a dull fellow. But during the World War II he finds himself involved in this wonderful adventure, _Traitor's Purse_, where he's on the trail of Nazi spies, but -- here's the trick -- he has amnesia, and doesn't even remember what his mission is, much less whom he can trust.
Anyone who knows Campion adventures -- as most readers would when the book was published -- will know where the loyalties of Amanda, Lugg and Oates lie, and perhaps it is good to go in with a few previous Campions under your belt to eliminate some of hero's utter confusion.
It's a great story and it moves like lightning.
Beleagured England October 19, 2004

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This novel unfolds like a film noir thriller. Albert Campion, the detective, comes round in hospital, believing himself to be under arrest for serious assault on a policeman. But there is a matter much more urgent, something else pressing onto his disjointed brain. To make matters worse, he alienates his main ally, Amanda Fitton.Originally published in 1941, the future of 'beleagured England'is at stake, 'with all the tides of a new and diabollically astute barbary lapping at her feet', in a way that youy wouldn't guess at even today. A startling departure from Campion's usual territory.
