Description
A mysterious, dust-covered stranger collapses in Hercule Poirot's room, clutching a cryptic note bearing the number '4'. This enigmatic figure draws the great detective into a dangerous web of international conspiracy and hidden identities. Poirot must unravel the meaning behind 'Number Four' and expose a shadowy organization before they can strike again. The master of detection faces his most complex case yet, where appearances are deceiving and trust is a luxury he cannot afford.

just a very poorly written poirot novel. between the short stories poorly glued together, clearly written as one offs, and then poirot acting so severely out of established character, there was little left to like. having hastings back was the real highlight since the james bond supervillain levels of smoke bombs, poison darts, and mountain lairs were unbearable to read. also in the edition i read (which may or may not be this one) the last 40+ pages were oddly enough a teaser from death on the nile which is book #18 in the series.
