Jack Havoc, jail-breaker and knife artist, is on the loose on the streets of London once again. In the faded squares of shabby houses, in the furtive alleys and darkened pubs, the word is out that the Tiger is back in town, more vicious than ever.

It falls to Albert Campion to pit his wits against the killer and hunt him down through the city's November smog before it is too late.

Reviews

  • 'Philip Franks does a fine job of recreating the tense film noir atmosphere, with accents from plummy to barrow-boy cockney' FINANCIAL TIMES
  • 'Philip Franks sounds, marvellously, as if he’s reading in a dinner-jacket . . . Fabulous' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
  • 'Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light' Agatha Christie
  • 'The best of all her works' Julian Symons
  • 'Margery Allingham deserves to be rediscovered' P. D. James
