About this book
Two broke young friends, Tommy Beresford and Tuppence Cowley, advertise themselves as adventurers for hire and stumble straight into a conspiracy far bigger than they bargained for. A secret treaty lost when the Lusitania sank could topple the British government if it reaches the wrong hands, and a shadowy criminal known only as Mr. Brown will kill to keep it hidden. Christie's second novel introduces her most lighthearted sleuths, mixing espionage, mistaken identities, and banter with the plotting that made her famous. Published in 1922, it moves at a brisk pace and shows the young author already delighting in misdirection.
