In this latest installment of the adventures of Mr. Albert Campion, we find our hero as he is returning from three years of work for the British crown. His plan is to arrive in London, take a hot bath at his Bottle Street flat and catch a train home to the lovely Amanda. While soaking in the tub, however, he is interrupted by voices in his flat; he goes out to check and there is the faithful Lugg and a couple of other people hauling in the body of a dead woman. Needless to say Campion misses his train, and the police investigation leads him into the world of stolen art.

Not as up to par as some of the previous books of the series, but still a very decent read and Campion fans will enjoy it. If you're planning to try this series, do start with book #1 or you will definitely be lost.
