Margery Louisa Ellingham is an English writer who belongs to the "golden age of English literature", recognized as the "queen of detective fiction" along with Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and Ngaio Marsh. Ellingham's books about the gentleman detective Albert Campion are most famous. This volume includes the first three novels of her main cycle.
When George Abbershaw is invited to a weekend at Black Dudley, he sees this as a chance to propose to Maggie Oliphant. But the guests' harmless entertainment turns into a deadly game, and George is now more interested in finding the criminal than in his future engagement.
Val Girt almost became a victim of kidnapping. He has no idea how great the danger is that threatens him, unlike the mysterious Mr. Campion, an amateur detective who tells him the news: a gang of daring robbers are hunting for an ancient bowl given to Val's family for safekeeping.
Judge Crowdy Lobbett has the evidence that reveals the identity of the criminal mastermind. Four attempts on his life force the judge to turn to Albert Campion for help. The detective decides to hide Lobbett in Mystery Mile, but the estate turns into a trap.
