Book description
On a French golf course, a millionaire is found stabbed in the back…
An urgent cry for help brings Poirot to France. But he arrives too late
to save his client, whose brutally stabbed body now lies face downwards
in a shallow grave on a golf course.
But why is the dead man wearing his son's overcoat? And who was the
impassioned love-letter in the pocket for? Before Poirot can answer
these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a
second, identically murdered corpse… 'Agatha Christie never lets you down'
The Sketch
'The plot is really clever.'
Literary Review
'A remarkably good detective story which can be warmly recommended.'
New York Times Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became,
quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The
Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World
War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular
detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known
throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a
billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100
foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story
collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
