Just back in wartime London from a gruelling mission, Albert Campion savours the prospect of a long hot bath and a long rest in the country. But, stepping out of the bathroom, he finds valet Magersfontein Lugg entertaining a roomful of ladies ? one a Dowager Marchioness, one a beautiful young girl, and the third a decidedly dead corpse. Campion becomes entangled in a baffling sequence of events involving missing art treasure, crates of vintage wine, and a number of strangely reticent aristodcrats.* This is a NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st./1st. with absolutely minimal age reducing it to VG++.*
