PUBLISHING PROGRAMME
Vintage
is delighted to announce it is bringing back into print golden age crime writer
Margery Allingham’s complete series of Mr Campion books, beginning this December
with an exclusive Waterstones edition of the first in the series, The Crime at
Black Dudley.
Joseph Knobbs, Crime Buyer
at Waterstones, says: 'We are thrilled to have Allingham's first Mr Campion
mystery back in print, exclusively for Christmas. Our customers love a
good mystery - and it's always a treat to find something from crime fiction's
golden age that we can bring to a new generation.'
A queen of the golden age of crime writing, Agatha Christie called
Margery Allingham ‘a shining light’ of
the genre, and in an event at the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Writing
Festival this year J.K. Rowling declared that Allingham was her favourite golden
age crime writer, and Mr Campion novel Tiger in the Smoke her
particular favourite. Vintage will publish a new edition of The Tiger in
the Smoke in May 2015 with an
introduction by bestselling crime writer Susan Hill, and over the next two
years will publish twenty Mr Campion books in a bold new series look.
Alongside Margery Allingham, the Vintage Murder Mysteries list is
proud to publish a host of classic crime writers including Gladys Mitchell, Nicholas
Blake and Edmund Crispin.
