World War II is staggering towards an end, and it can't come soon enough for Albert Campion, who has had his fill of dead bodies. Granted a brief leave, he returns to London, only to surprise the estimable Lugg in the act of hauling, yes, a dead body through the front door. For Campion, it seems, there's simply no escape.

Work Description
Also published as Coroner's Pidgin.
Albert Campion is home on leave after three years of wartime intelligence work overseas. His only thought is to get to his house in the country and his wife, Lady Amanda. How can his manservant Lugg have been so inconsiderate as to deposit a dead body in his London flat? Reluctantly, Campion is drawn into the intrigues of Lord Carados' eccentric household - none of them quite as eccentric as his Lordship's formidable mother. He must deal with murder, treason and grand larceny before he can can go home, and even then his troubles are not over.
