And detective Hercule Poirot faces his greatest challenge when his services are enlisted -- by the victim -- in a bizarre locked-room murder. From the stunning title story (which inspired the classic film thriller) to the rarest gems in detective fiction, these tales of baffling crime and brilliant deduction showcase Agatha Christie at her dazzling best.
