About the Book
In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, when a mock murder game staged for charity threatens to turn into the real thing, the intrepid Hercule Poirot is called in.

Despite weeks of meticulous planning, at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that’s something sinister is about to happen….
