Description
When a woman is found dead from a poisoned dart aboard a commercial passenger plane, detective Hercule Poirot finds himself perfectly positioned to unravel the mystery. Trapped in the confined cabin with a cast of suspicious characters—a lovestruck young woman, a cocaine-addicted countess, and a detective writer plagued by an aggressive wasp—Poirot must determine which of his fellow passengers is a murderer. With nowhere to escape and every suspect within arm's reach, the brilliant Belgian detective must use his keen observational skills and psychological insight to identify the killer before the plane lands. Christie masterfully transforms the claustrophobic setting of an aircraft into a locked-room mystery, where secrets, motives, and hidden identities collide at 30,000 feet. A classic puzzle of deception and danger that showcases why Poirot remains one of literature's most iconic detectives.
