Police at the Funeral (Heinemann, 1931) Campion comes to the assistance of the Faraday family, near to his youthful haunting grounds in Cambridge. Begged to assist by Joyce Faraday, the financée of an old school friend, Marcus Featherstone, Campion must untangle a web of family relations and resentments and discover the truth behind the disappearance of Andrew Seeley. Seeley, a cousin of the Faradays, vanished without trace one Sunday morning after church, only to be found dead in a quiet secluded streem. Complicating matters is the murder of Kitty, one of the Faraday sisters. Is it the work of an enemy of the family, or of Uncle Andrew, back from beyond the grave? What secrets are held by Lady Caroline Faraday, her dissolute son William, and her daughters? Police at the Funeral was adapted for the first series of 'Campion' by the BBC.
