The Case of the Late Pig — Margery Allingham

THE CORPSE WHO WOULDN'T STAY DEAD

When Albert Campion is called upon to investigate a murder in a small town, he discovers that the victim is none other than an old schoolmate, R.I. Peters, a.k.a. Pig, whose funeral he'd attended not six months earlier. Then Pig's fiancee shows up, demanding to see the body of her late beloved...but the corpse has disappeared.

MYSTERY AT ITS BRITISH BEST

Equally at home in the underworld and among the upper crust, super-sleuth Albert Campion rarely misses a clue or fails to find a motive. Behind his horn-rimmed glasses and mild-mannered facade is a brilliant mind that can penetrate to the villainous heart of the most heinous crime.
