Description
A desperate letter summons Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings to the French coastal town of Merlinville-sur-Mer, but they arrive too late: their would-be client, the wealthy Paul Renauld, has been found stabbed to death and left in a freshly dug grave on the edge of a golf course under construction. As the arrogant Sûreté detective Giraud hunts for physical clues, Poirot pits his little grey cells against a case of hidden identities, a past crime that echoes the present one, and a second body that deepens the puzzle. Meanwhile, Hastings falls for a mysterious young woman who may know more than she admits. Agatha Christie's second Poirot novel is a twisting tale of deception, jealousy, and justice.
