Book Description
A man is killed five months after his funeral, in a tale by “one of the greatest mid-20th-century practitioners of the detective novel” (Alexander McCall Smith). Private detective Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral. Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peters’s body goes missing. It takes all Campion’s coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime. The Case of the Late Pig is, uniquely, narrated by Campion himself. In Allingham’s inimitable style, high drama sits neatly beside pitch-perfect black comedy. A heady mix of murder, romance, and the urbane detective's own unglamorous past make this an Allingham mystery not to be missed. “My very favourite of the four Queens of Crime is Allingham.”—J. K. Rowling “Margery Allingham deserves to be rediscovered.”—P.D. James

Book Description
This story, like some others in the series, is narrated by Albert Campion himself. The tale opens with a socially comic scene of Lugg reading out the death notices in the newspaper, in particular one about R. I. Peters (pun intended I guess). This name rings a bell for Campion who knew the deceased as a school bully. Yet the funeral is far from satisfying and instead has a gravely unsettling feeling upon Campion. 6 months later he is called back down to the area by the local Chief Constable, Colonel Leo Pursuivant, who is also Campion's friend. For his own reasons he is very anxious about a newly discovered murder and Campion is stunned when he sees the victim - recognising his old school nemesis Peters, who seems to have been going around under a different name, Oswald Harris. Yet he has only been dead for 12 hours. So what was the funeral all about 6 months earlier? Leo is concerned about the murder due to where it took place, a local country house, which is now being run as a loosely governed business and it seems like Harris had been making himself pretty unpopular with the local inhabitants, including Leo, with his plans for redeveloping the area. Further befuddlement ensues with disappearing corpses, new corpses, cryptic anonymous letters, unhelpful school acquaintances and even personal jeopardy for Campion and Lugg.

Book Description
Strange Histories presents a serious account of some of the most extraordinary occurrences of European and North American history and explains how they made sense to people living at the time. Using case studies from the Middle Ages and the early modern period, this book provides fascinating insights into the world-view of a vanished age and shows how such occurences fitted in quite naturally with the "common sense" of the time. Explanations of these phenomena, riveting and ultimately rational, encourage further reflection on what shapes our beliefs today. What made reasonable, educated men and women behave in ways that seem utterly nonsensical to us today? This question and many more are answered in this fascinating book.
