Beschreibung
Private detective Albert Campion hunts a serial killer in London's theatre district, in this crime novel from "e;the best of mystery writers"e; (The New Yorker).A spate of murders leaves Campion with only two baffling clues: a left-hand glove and a lizard-skin letter-case. These minimal leads, and a series of peculiar events, set the gentleman sleuth on a race against time that takes him from an odd museum of curiosities hidden in a quiet corner of London to a scrapyard in the East End.Margery Allingham shows her dark edge in Hide My Eyes and evokes the sights, sounds, and inimitable atmosphere of 1950s London, once again proving herself "e;one of the finest 'golden age' crime novelists"e; (Sunday Telegraph)."e;Allingham has that rare gift in a novelist, the creation of characters so rich and so real that they stay with the reader forever."e; -Sara Paretsky"e;Allingham's characters are three-dimensional flesh and blood, especially her villains."e; -Times Literary Supplement
