Margery Allingham

Margery Allingham (1904-1966) was one of the leading writers of Britain's Golden Age of detective fiction. She is best remembered for creating Albert Campion, the deceptively mild-mannered investigator whose adventures combine mystery, suspense, humor, and social observation. Beginning with The Crime at Black Dudley, Campion became the central figure in a long-running series that established Allingham alongside the major British mystery writers of her generation.
