A facsmile first edition hardback of the Poirot book, published to celebrate 80 years as the nation's favourite detective. Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman.

But then she had led an unusual life. First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed.

Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches.

Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed. Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick's sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection.

At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn't been committed.

Yet. To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirot's first appearance, and to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this title in a collection of facsimile first editions is the perfect way to experience Agatha Christie.

Reproducing the original typesetting and format of the first edition from the Christie family's own archive, this book sports the original cover which has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.
