Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression of this work, in the publisher's original price clipped dust wrapper.
Christie's thrilling mystery follows the narrator Mark Easterbrook as he investigates a list of names and the death of a Catholic Priest. With a small appearance from Christie's novelist detective Ariadne Oliver.
This novel is notable among Christie's books as it is credited with having saved at least two lives, after readers recognised the symptoms of thallium poisoning from the description in the book.
