Description
"I should imagine this was murder, too, because it would be very difficult to build yourself into a heap of sandbags and then die..."
In the blackout conditions of a wintry London night, amateur sleuth Agnes Kinghof and a young air-raid warden have stumbled upon a corpse stowed in the walls of their street's bomb shelter. As the police begin their investigation, the night is interrupted once again when Agnes's upstairs neighbour, Mrs Sibley, is terrorised by the sight of a grisly pig's head at her fourth-floor window.
With the discovery of more sinister threats mysteriously signed 'Pig-sticker', Agnes and her husband Andrew, unable to resist a good mystery, begin their investigation to deduce the identity of a villain living amongst the tenants of their block of flats.
A witty and light-hearted mystery full of intriguing period detail, this rare gem of Golden Age crime returns to print for the first time since its publication in 1943.

About the Author
NAP LOMBARD was the joint pseudonym used by the English author and playwright Pamela Hansford Johnson (19121981) and Australian writer and journalist Gordon Neil Stewart (19121999). The couple married in 1936 and enlisted as air-raid wardens in London at the outbreak of the Second World War. Under the Nap Lombard pseudonym they co-wrote two entertaining mystery novels, Tidy Death (1940) and Murder's a Swine (1943).
