From the Publisher:
With his first case Albert Campion scored a genteely British coup. His new client, though, is the very American Judge Crowdy Lobbett. His Honor has come into possession of evidence identifying the criminal mastermind behind a gang that is terrorizing New York, and the gang, in response, has begun terrorizing Judge Lobbett.

For safety, Campion sends the Judge and his family to Mystery Mile, a secluded house deep in the British countryside. But that safety is illusory: Soon after their arrival the local vicar is killed, a clear message from the gang. The gang, however, has underestimated Campion. Beneath his stream of banter is a razor-sharp detective's intellect, and he is soon sending deadly serious messages of his own.

From the Publisher:
Confidential Investigator Albert Campion
A tall, thin man with overly large spectacles, he is deceptively unobtrusive when tracking down a Kkller and uncannily capable of predicting the deadly twists of a criminal mind. He is unquestionably a gentleman, but even Lugg, his dauntless valet, and his friends at Scotland Yard don't know all the secrets in Campion's past - or the confidential cases he has covertly solved while in His Majesty's Service.

A Trail of Corpses
Whether it was due to the killer's bad luck or bad marksmanship, Judge Crowdy Lobbett of New York was still alive. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the four men who had died in his place. Two more attempts on his person, one in the middle of the Atlantic, the other on a bustling London street, are enough to convince Albert Campion that the judge knows something he definitely should not... something about the criminal mastermind Simister. For safety's sake, Campion lures the judge to the quaint village of Mystery Mile and hopefully out of harm's way. But when murder, suicide, and blackmail strike swiftly, Campion knows that the legend of Simister is true: No man ever escapes him - even a man like Campion.

From the Publisher:
Crowdy Lobbett was a man who knew too much - and too little. As an American judge he had for too long had to deal with the evil consequences of the Simister gang, and he had succeeded in bringing many of them to their just deserts. Furthermore he was in possession of information which was the clue to the identity of Simister himself; for nobody knew who Simister was, and Lobbett's information did not disclose all. Not that Simister knew this, for his idea was to eliminate Lobbett, and thus avoid the danger of discovery. He followed Lobbett everywhere, or more truly his minions did, and he tried to kill him again and again. He followed him across the Atlantic: he followed him to the heart of the English countryside where... But this story tells what happened there at Mystery Mile. Sufficient to say that Albert Campion was also present, and that Albert and Simister had not met before.
