About this ebook

Agatha Christie’s international mystery thriller, reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

Baghdad is the chosen location for a secret summit of superpowers, concerned but not convinced, about the development of an, as yet, unidentified and undescribed secret weapon.

Only one man has the proof that can confirm the nature of this fantastic secret weapon – a British agent named Carmichael. Unfortunately the criminal organisation responsible for the weapon’s development will stop at nothing to prevent him entering Baghdad and presenting his proof to the assembled delegates. Can Carmichael enter the city against such odds?

Into this explosive situations appears Victoria Jones, a girl with a yearning for adventure who gets more than she bargains for when a wounded Carmichael dies in her arms in her hotel room.

Now, if only she could make sense of his last words ‘...Lucifer...Basrah...Lefarge...’

I just loved Victoria Jones, the way she made her way through all this adventure was amazing. She made a good protagonist for the story. The first ten chapters were slow and were little saggy but after that...... the book explodes into action, and mini thrills! Good change to the always murder-mysteries. Wonderful book.

Why aren't there more Victoria Jones books? If there were I'd start reading one straight away even though I've just finished this one. Such an entertaining read.

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 countries.
