Book description

A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.

Major Hastings and Hercule Poirot are not interested in the case of the Spanish Chest, so obviously has it been reported in the papers that it seems an entirely closed book. But, when Hastings persuades Poirot to attend a rather fabulous party given by Lady Chatterton there is someone sequestered upstairs waiting for the pair's help. She's so sure that there has been some great mistake and is desperate for their help. Will the contents of the dead man's pockets reveal to the inscrutable eye of Hercule Poirot who the culprit is? 'The plots are so good that one marvels … most of them would have made a full length thriller.' Daily Mirror Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 20 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
