It is the thirteenth novel in the Albert Campion series. The book focuses on Apron Street, an isolated neighborhood in London. Going "up Apron street" has become a byword for a criminal vanishing. This proves to be done by the Bowels family, the undertakers of the title. More sinister proves to be the effort of the local banker to eliminate the eccentric Palinode family, which has inherited shares of stock once thought worthless. The banker proves also to be the moving force behind the service the Bowels family runs for criminals. Note on the TitleMore Work for the Undertaker was the title of a comical 1895 music-hall song written by Fred W. Leigh (1871 - 1924)[1][2]References
