One of Agatha Christie's most famous private detectives (along with Miss Marple) shows his extraordinary and unique powers in these eleven early adventures. Using the famous "little grey cells" Poirot deftly cuts through the puzzling clues and unerringly finds the solution in these intriguing mysteries.
Assisted by his friend, Captain Arthur Hastings, who combines admiration and exasperation with his friend's methods and egotism, Poirot solves cases concerning missing jewels, murder and insurance fraud, espionage, murder again, and murder yet again and again. Poirot and Hastings travel to Egypt to battle an ancient curse, and deal with the far reaching potential effects of a kidnaped Prime Minister. Throughout it all, Poirot is what he has been for generations of mystery fans- the small, eccentric Belgian detective with the egg shaped head and brilliance in untangling the crimes described here.
