Book description
A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the
first time as an ebook.
The rather disgruntled pair is sequestered in the Grand Adlington Hotel
having made a pig's ear out of their latest case. But, whilst sipping
mournful cocktails, with Tommy oddly dressed as a Parson, they are
gleefully accosted by their old acquaintance Mr. Bulger who has London's
most beautiful stage actress, Gilda Glen, in tow. Feather brained and a
little confused, Gilda takes Tommy for a real clergyman and scrawls out
a desperate note to meet him away from the hotel. Whilst Tommy and
Tuppence mull over the note, in storms a man, an old flame of Gilda's
claiming he wants to ring someone's neck. When the duo turn up at the
meeting place all hell breaks loose after a high pitch scream is heard.
