Swing Low, Swing Death is a 1946 mystery detective novel by the British author Ruthven Todd, written under the pen name of R.T. Campbell.[1] It was the last of seven novels featuring the botanist and amateur detective Professor John Stubbs.[2] Todd planned to continue the series, with five more titles announced, but the bankruptcy of his publisher brought the series to a halt. The following year he emigrated to the United States. It was republished in 2018 by Dover Publications, along with three others Stubbs adventures.
