Cover Synopsis

“That was the beauty of Campion; one never knew where he was going to turn up next – at the Third Levee or swinging from a chandelier…”
Here Albert Campion poses as the king of a tinpot Balkan state looking for his lost crown – an odd thing to do, even for Mr Campion, particularly as he is doing it in Mentone, at the Hotel Beauregard of all places. Guffy Randall is stolid, Nordic and logical, but his curiosity is aroused, and he cannot resist the temptation to join in the tantilising treasure hunt.

Sweet Danger is perfectly crafted, full of surprising twists and turns. What starts as a light-hearted, slightly crazy wild-goose chase becomes something much more dangerous, nasty and sinister.
