The Case of the Late Pig

About “The Case of the Late Pig”

Albert Campion attends the funeral of "Pig" Peters, a former schoolmate who made his life miserable, but not out of sorrow. He goes because of an anonymous invitation, drawn to mystery. Six months later, a friend in Sussex asks for his help after a body is found—one that clearly belongs to the late Pig. The situation becomes confusing as people from the previous funeral and others connected to Pig appear. Campion unravels the mystery and finds the truth behind the identity of the buried man. The story is part of a novel by Margery Allingham.
