A chilling letter signed “A.B.C.” arrives at Hercule Poirot’s door, taunting him with cryptic clues about a series of murders following the alphabet. When Alice Ascher is found strangled in Andover, Poirot enlists Captain Hastings to help unravel a pattern that seems as methodical as it is maddening. As each subsequent victim—Betty Barnard in Bexhill and Sir Carmichael Clarke in Churston—is chosen by alphabetical order, fear grips the nation and pressure mounts on Poirot to stop the next killing. With time running out, he must sift through red herrings and deceptive witnesses to unmask a killer whose true motive remains hidden in plain sight. In this taut, puzzle‑box thriller, Christie delivers one of her most ingenious games of cat and mouse, testing Poirot’s “little grey cells” to their very limits.
