"A tall thin man with overly large spectacles, he is deceptively unobtrusive when tracking down a killer and uncannily capable of predicting the deadly twists of a criminal's mind. He is unquestionably a gentleman, but even Lugg, his dauntless valet, and his friends at Scotland Yard don't know all the secrets in Campion's past-or the confidential cases he has covertly solved while in His Majesty's service. No one in the Faraday family particularly mourned the hanger-on called Uncle Andrew, but they all felt his murder was in such horrid taste. And when a mysterious symbol appeared on a mansion window and a preposterously large footprint popped up in the gardens, it became clear someone was trying to make monkeys of them all. Nothing is more unwelcome tot he proper Cambridge Faradays than a hint of scandal. But Campion shrewdly suspects that the killer plans to do more than just embarrass the Faradays to death. The idea is to really kill them ... one by one."--BOOK COVER.
