Overview

Una joven acude al detective Hercules Poirot para que resuelva un crimen cometido dieciséis años atrás, ¿logrará resolver este misterio?

Caroline Crale es condenada por el asesinato de su esposo, el pintor Amyas Crale, dieciséis años atrás. Ahora, la hija de ambos, Carla, está dispuesta a remover cielo y tierra para descubrir la verdadera identidad del asesino de su padre y limpiar así la memoria de su desdichada madre.

Con escasas pruebas, la tarea de Poirot se complica cuando comprueba que sus cinco sospechosos tienen, aparentemente, sólidas coartadas. Pero ¿quién será capaz de mantenerse firme ante la inquisitiva perspicacia de tan audaz investigador? Otro caso sorprendente de Poirot.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, beloved detective Hercule Poirot races to solve a case from out of the past.

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other “little pigs” who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcée), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home.

Sixteen years later, Caroline’s daughter is determined to prove her mother’s innocence, and Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind.

About the Author

About The Author
Nacida en Torquay en 1891, Agatha Christie recibió la típica educación victoriana impartida por institutrices en el hogar paterno. Tras la muerte de su padre, se trasladó a París, donde estudió piano y canto. Contrajo matrimonio en 1914 y tuvo una hija, pero su matrimonio terminó en divorcio en 1928. Dos años después, durante un viaje por Oriente Medio conoció al arqueólogo Max Mallowan, con quien se casó ese mismo año; a partir de entonces pasó varios meses al año en Siria e Irak, escenario de Ven y dime cómo vives (Andanzas 50, ahora también en la colección Fábula) y de alguna de sus novelas policiacas, como Asesinato en Mesopotamia o Intriga en Bagdad. Además del gran éxito de que disfrutaron sus célebres novelas, a partir de 1953 ganó celebridad con las adaptaciones teatrales de sus novelas en el West End londinense. En 1971 le fue concedida la distinción de Dame of the British Empire. Murió en 1976.
