More Work for the Undertaker

Plot

Will Albert Campion give up detection and turn respectable?

Perhaps ... but after a series of coincidences, culminating in a letter from Lugg's brother-in-law, Campion can no longer resist involvement in the eccentric Palinode household, where there have been two suspicious deaths. And if poisoning were not enough, there are also anonymous letters, sudden violence, a dying convict's last words and a vanishing coffin. Meanwhile, the residents of Apron Street go about their nocturnal business ... For Campion, finding the truth is a very difficult and dangerous undertaking.
