Summary

With gentleman sleuth Albert Campion on the case and plenty of European intrigue, “Sweet Danger is for the connoisseur of detective fiction” (Sunday Times). 
 
Nestled along the Adriatic coastline, the kingdom of Averna has suddenly—and suspiciously—become the hottest property in Europe, and Albert Campion is given the task of recovering the long-missing proofs of ownership. 
 
His mission takes him from the French Riviera to the sleepy village of Pontisbright, where he meets the flame-haired Amanda Fitton. Her family claim to be the rightful heirs to the principality, and insist on joining Campion's quest. Unfortunately for them, a criminal financier and his heavies are also on the trail. The clock is ticking for Campion and his cohorts to outwit the thugs and solve the mystery of Averna.

“The best of mystery writers.” —The New Yorker

    She calls herself his wife. She kills to prove it.  
"Jyll and Jack went up the hill… and only Jyll came back."  
It’s been six years since Jack Steen walked away from Jyll Steen—the woman who believes she is his secret wife, the daughter of a killer, and now a killer herself. But Jyll never forgot.   
Not the Vegas weekend. Not the rejection. And not the secrets Jack carries in his midnight recordings.  
In her first letter, Jyll whispers her devotion in rhyme before confessing her latest crime: the abduction and unraveling of a man who reminded her just a little too much of Jack.   
Every detail is for him—every cut, every lie, every breath.  
Dear Jack: Love Letters from Your Serial Killer Wife begins here—with a vow written in blood, a souvenir meant just for him, and a chilling reminder that Jyll isn’t done. Not by a long shot.
