As a favour to the Danish ambassador, Albert Campion and his son Rupert begin to shadow Soho photographer Francis Tate, without realizing they too are being shadowed. It seems that young Mr Tate, clearly enamoured with the ambassador's teenage daughter, is involved in more than landscape photography. When a body is found "orribly murdered" (as Lugg would say) on the Suffolk coast and the ambassador's daughter disappears without trace, various parties - including the Campion clan -descend on the isolated town of Gapton and the hunt begins for a killer, a smuggler, a spy and a missing girl. Campion is older, wiser and perhaps vulnerable, though just as sharp as ever; and with Lady Amanda at his side and Lugg looking over his shoulder, who would bet against him? First Published 2015 by Severn House Publishers Limited. A resource for those interested in novels and short stories set partly or wholly in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Please post any comments you may have on any fiction featured here. If you wish a novel or short story to be included please go to the book suggestions page. Thanks.
