Beschreibung
A man is killed five months after his funeral, in a tale by "one of the greatest mid-20th-century practitioners of the detective novel" (Alexander McCall Smith).
Private detective Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral. Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peters's body goes missing. It takes all Campion's coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime.
The Case of the Late Pig is, uniquely, narrated by Campion himself. In Allingham's inimitable style, high drama sits neatly beside pitch-perfect black comedy. A heady mix of murder, romance, and the urbane detective's own unglamorous past make this an Allingham mystery not to be missed.
"My very favourite of the four Queens of Crime is Allingham."--J. K. Rowling
"Margery Allingham deserves to be rediscovered."--P.D. James

Über den Autor
Margery Allingham (1904-1966) was an English novelist and one of the leading figures of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Best known for creating the gentleman sleuth Albert Campion, Allingham brought wit, psychological insight, and social nuance to the traditional mystery [...] Campion novels-beginning with The Crime at Black Dudley and developing through works such as Tiger in the Smoke-blend intricate plotting with sharply observed portraits of British society between the wars and beyond. As the series progressed, Campion evolved from a seemingly lighthearted adventurer into a more complex and reflective figure, mirroring the deepening tone of Allingham's [...] grouped with contemporaries such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, Allingham distinguished herself through atmospheric writing and an interest in character as much as puzzle. Her work remains central to twentieth-century British crime literature and continues to attract devoted readers of classic detective fiction.
