Tether's End

Product Description When a murdered London pawnbroker's corpse is missing, clues are scant and witnesses few. Scotland Yard Superintendent Charles Luke has come up with a farfetched theory, and even the imperturbable Albert Campion has doubts when evidence points them to a most unlikely conclusion. Previous published. About the Author Margery Allingham published her first novel before turning twenty. She went on to become one of the pre-eminent writers who helped bring the detective story to maturity in the 1920s and 1930s. "The Goff Place Mystery" remained unsolved, the body of the murdered pawnbroker never found. On the night of the killing, a bus had parked on the narrow cul-de-sac. Witnesses saw two elderly passengers dozing. Later, a ghastly trail of blood led from the pawnbroker's stairs to this dead-end street. From these scanty clues, Scotland Yard Superintendent Charles Luke had come up with a most farfetched theory - even the imperturbable Albert Campion had doubts when the evidence took them to a dusty curio museum called Tether's End. Also known as "Hide My Eyes".
