Publisher's Synopsis
Prep school held two evils for the young Albert Campion: Latin prose and the bullying ways of Pig Peters. And now that he's dead, Pig is still causing trouble for Campion. First, the amateur detective receives a riddling and anonymous letter requesting his presence at the bully's funeral. Then, five months later, Pig dies again - with his freshly killed corpse going missing from the morgue and appearing in a most inconvenient fashion. Who killed him this time? Soon other bodies turn up, and it takes all of Campion's powers of detection to unravel this series of most peculiar puzzles.
