Synopsis

A collection of eighteen classic Golden Age short stories from “the best of mystery writers”—with a tribute by Agatha Christie (The New Yorker).   Acclaimed by critics and her peers, Margery Allingham was one of the finest writers of her day, crafting fiction that challenged readers’ crime-solving skills and kept them on the edge of their seats. Foul play, mystery, and the macabre set the stage for unforgettable characters who struggled with the complexities of life and their own morality.   In these pages, you’ll find eighteen stories that showcase Margery Allingham’s wit, sharp characterization, and clever plotting. From her famous detective’s swift dispatch of a case in “Mr. Campion’s Lucky Day,” to ghost-hunting in a terrorized village in “’Tis Not Hereafter,” to a debate about—and proof of—good and evil in “The Wink,” Margery Allingham shows why she “deserves to be rediscovered” (P. D. James, New York Times–bestselling author).  Praise for Margery Allingham   “[Allingham was a] rare and precious talent.” —The Washington Post   “Don’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.” —The Independent   “One of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists.” —The Sunday Telegraph

    Small-town lawyer Cass Leary’s latest client just dug up a decades-old, million-dollar mystery hidden under the floorboards of her grandmother’s house. 
    Zoe Paul never had much. Abandoned as an infant, her grandmother Marilyn raised her until a tragic accident left Zoe all alone. Now, sixteen years later, Zoe discovers an unclaimed check worth millions among her grandmother’s things. With no explanation why Marilyn never cashed the check or what it was for, Zoe's curiosity quickly turns to suspicion and she goes to Cass for help. 
    Cass is used to representing small-town clients with big-time troubles, but this newfound windfall may be more curse than blessing. Soon Zoe’s long-lost relatives crawl out of the woodwork with claims to the funds. Cass must face-off with them in a bitter courtroom battle that draws sinister attention. 
    While Cass investigates the check's origins and the events leading up to Marilyn's accident, she exposes a dangerous web of deceit that threatens Zoe's safety as well as her own. The truth could either set Zoe up for life or reveal shocking family secrets worth killing for. 
    Will Cass unravel the mystery or become the next victim of a deadly cover up? 
    Dead Law is the gripping eleventh book in the Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series by Robin James. With sharp dialogue, well-drawn characters, and a twisty plot that will keep you guessing until the very end, this series is a must-read for fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly.
