POIROT INVESTIGATES

"I find it a good sign when a case is obscure. If a thing is clear as daylight - eh bien, mistrust it! Someone has made it so."

First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond... then came the 'suicide' that was murder... the mystery of the absurdly chaep flat... a suspicious death in a locked gun-room... a million dollar bond robbery... the curse of a pharoah's tomb... a jewel robbery by the sea... the abduction of a Prime Minister... the disappearance of a banker... a phone call from a dying man... and, finally, the mystery of the missing willl.

What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!

• "With this volume (to say nothing of the others), Mrs Christie must be reckoned in the first rank of the detective story writers." - Observer
