Originally published as twelve short stories, Christie weaves these briefer mysteries into a larger cloak and dagger spy tale of suspense. The novel deviates from her earlier writing style, replacing the usual setting of a manor house containing British gentry with a cosmopolitan setting. Renowned private detective Hercule Poirot, pulled into a world of intrigue and espionage, sets out to break up an international group of four criminal masterminds. In this follow-up to \n\u003ci\u003eThe Murder of Roger Ackroyd\u003c\/i\u003e, Christie has crafted an action-packed plot filled with colorful characters whose aim is world domination.
