The first collection of short stories featuring one of the world's favorite fictional detectives, Hercule Poirot

No criminal can outwit Agatha Christie's famously eccentric Belgian detective as he uses his little grey cells to solve a series of ingenious crimes. From a film star's disappearing diamond to a death in a locked room to the abduction of a prime minister, no plot is too fiendishly clever to withstand Hercule Poirot's deductive powers for long.
