In this official authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, famed private eye Hercule Poirot tackles international intrigue and espionage.
Framed in the doorway of Hercule Poirot's bedroom stands an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man stares for a moment, then he sways and falls. Who is he?
