Look to the Lady (apa The Gyrth Chalice Mystery) is the third in the Albert Campion series by Margery Allingham. It is a US Kindle Countdown deal at $0.99 for about 1 1/2 more days. The e-book publisher of these in the US, Ipso, seems to be rotating them through Countdown, but only for a very short time for each one, so grab it fast if you want it. (Note the Ipso titles are only $3.99 not on sale anyway, which is IMO a reasonable price - although the upper edge of my idea of a reasonable price - for classic/famous backlist....)

Also, be cautious - this is one of the titles in the Margery Allingham Box Set 1 that was on sale a while back, so if you bought that, you already have this.

And finally, BTW, the link at the end of the blurb for the "previously unpublished Allingham story" is legit, as discussed upthread, and signing up for the newsletter has not gotten me flooded with emails, I only remember two? or three?

Quote:
Finding himself the victim of a botched kidnapping attempt, Val Gyrth suspects that he might be in a spot of trouble. Unexpected news to him – but not to the mysterious Mr Campion, who reveals that the ancient Chalice entrusted to Val’s family is being targeted by a ruthless ring of thieves.

Fleeing London for the supposed safety of Suffolk, Val and Campion come face to face with events of a perilous and puzzling nature – Campion might be accustomed to outwitting criminal minds, but can he foil supernatural forces?

This is a stand-alone title within Margery Allingham’s Albert Campion series. However, if you wish to read the books in the order that they were written please follow the link below to have a look at the order of publication:
