A superb collection of Hercule Poirot short stories from The Queen of Crime.
Contains:
The Kidnapped Prime Minister
The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge
Dead Man's MirrorFirst there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond... then came the `suicide' that was murder... the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat... a suspicious death in a locked gun-room... a million dollar bond robbery... the curse of a pharoah's tomb... a jewel robbery by the sea... the abduction of a Prime Minister... the disappearance of a banker... a phone call from a dying man... and, finally, the mystery of the missing will.
What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!
In Dead Man's Mirror, Sir Gervase Chevenix-Gore suspects he is the victim of fraud and contacts Hercule Poirot. The host's failure to answer the dinner gong leads to the discovery of his body in the study.
A gun, a shattered mirror - the obvious inference is suicide until Poirot begins his investigation...
