Confidential Investigator Albert Campion--A tall thin man with overly large spectacles, he is deceptively unbtrusive when tracking down a killer and uncannily capable of predicting the deadly twists if a criminals mind. He is unquestionable a gentleman, but even Lugg, his dauntless valet, and his frewnds at Scotland Yard don't know all the secrets in Campion's past--or the confidential cases he has coverly solved while in His Majesty's service.
Killing a man at a cowded art show with a scisssors, even one encruseted with gems, was a bit coatse--although one must allow for haste. But the sevcond murder was so exquistly handled that Investigator Campion deduced that his murderer was indeed a madman wtih class. Campion's investigation of the backstabbing London art world soon carrioed him to a lavish dinner, where Campion's own death was meant to be the nightcap to an otherewise scrumption evening.
