Part of Hercule Poirot, book 15
First published 1987
Legendary detective Hercule Poirot is invited to a high-stakes game of bridge, where four suspects with perfect murder alibis will battle wits. But before the first card is played, the host is found dead. Now Poirot must unravel a twisted web of secrets and lies to unmask the killer in their midst. With Scotland Yard, a famous mystery novelist, and a covert agent also at the table, the game has never been more perilous - or more deliciously clever.
