Author Description

Hardcover facsimile of the first British edition of Agatha Christie's exotic seaside mystery thriller featuring Hercule Poirot. Ever since Arlena Stuart's arrival at the resort, Poirot had detected sexual tension in the air. It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving actress stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun! She had been strangled. But could this apparent 'crime of passion' have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?
