Death of a Ghost by Margery Allingham

3.0

A painter left instructions in his will that a decade after his death, a collection of a dozen paintings were to be exhibited and sold at a rate of one a year. During the reception for the unveiling of the latest painting the lights suddenly go out and when they come back on, a young artist is lying dead with a set of bejeweled scissors in his heart. Albert Campion immediately contacts a friend in Scotland Yard and they attempted to discovered the murderer. Unfortunately, there is a second death and then Campion himself becomes the target.
