A red chess piece... An improbable suicide... A disappearing judge... These were the clues to a killer whose victims never escaped. Judge Lobbett has found evidence pointing to the identity of the criminal mastermind behind the deadly Simister gang that is terrorizing New York. After four attempts on his life, he seeks the help of enigmatic and unorthodox amateur sleuth, Albert Campion, during his travel to England. For safety, Campion sends the Judge and his family to a secluded house in an island on the Suffolk coast. But that safety is illusory: it seemed fitting that odd things should happen in a town called "Mystery Mile". Soon after their arrival the local vicar is killed - a clear message from the gang. Its a race against time for Campion to get the judge to safety and decipher the clue to their mysterious enemy's name.But even a connoisseur of crime as Scotland Yard's Albert Campion had never encountered such elusive clues. He had to trace a mastermind of crime in time to save his client's life--and his own. Luckily for Judge Lobbett, underneath his constant stream of banter, Campion displays a diamond-sharp intelligence and a natural detective's instinct... Blackmail, abduction and sudden death bring matters to a climax.
