Book description
A seance in a snowbound Dartmoor house predicts a grisly murder…
In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle
around a small table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell
out a chilling message: 'Captain Trevelyan… dead… murder.'
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be
certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six
miles away and, with snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have
to make the journey on foot… “The Empress of the crime novel.”

“An excellent book to take away for a weekend reading.” New York Times
“You can't go wrong with this one, certainly the best of the always
high-grade Christie items in quite some time.” Books 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 44 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.
