About this eBook

A young drifter finds more than he bargained for when he agrees to deliver a parcel to an English country house...

Little did Anthony Cade suspect that a simple errand on behalf of a friend would make him the centrepiece of a murderous international conspiracy. Someone would stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia.

The combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete can do no better than go in circles – until the final murder at Chimneys, the great country estate that yields up an amazing secret...

Book shows only 8 pages even though there are 200+ pages and does not return to the page you were last reading. Very annoying having to manually find where you were everytime you want to read!

Great book, highly recommend. Virginia Revel is my fav character. Agatha Christie is definitely the Queen of crime novels!

Far fetched but great escapism. One of my favourites.

About the author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
