About this book
Summoned to France by a millionaire who fears for his life, Hercule Poirot arrives too late: his client lies stabbed in a shallow grave beside a half-built golf course. Working alongside Captain Hastings, Poirot clashes with Giraud, an arrogant investigator from the Paris Surete who trusts physical clues while Poirot reads character and motive. The case widens into old secrets, a near-identical second crime, and a tangle of blackmail reaching back years. Hastings, meanwhile, loses his heart to a young woman caught up in the affair. It stands as one of Christie's tightest early novels, sharpening the rivalry between method and instinct that runs through the Poirot books.
