Cargo of Eagles (Heinemann, 1968) by Margery Allingham and Philip Youngman Carter   '...how is Lugg?'   'Very impressive. He shoots the most magnificent lines ever. I've heard him on the well-pressed bootlace. Was he ever in royal service?'   Mr. Campion controlled his amusement. 'He's looked after me as a sort of housekeeper for quite a few years,' he began cautiously... - Cargo of Eagles, Chapter One from the Avon (US) edition: "Once the gathering place of pirates and smugglers, the town of Saltey has no been overrun by motorcycle gangs, ex-convicts, and a nasty collection of contemporary cutthroats. But a missing treasure and a resurrected local demon entice Albert Campion to the quaint, if troubled, seacoast community - and a mysterious murder that sets the intrepid sleuth sailing toward disaster." This book was only half-completed when Margery Allingham died on 30 June 1966. After a time, Philip Youngman Carter was persuaded to finish the work that they had begun together. He went on to write the final two Campion stories, based upon their joint sketches, Mr Campion's Farthing and Mr Campion's Falcon.  BOOKS      Order Cargo of Eagles from Amazon.co.uk Appears to be readily available from Amazon UK.
