Retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam, returning to England from the Far East, meets a seemingly confused old lady on a train and she tells him an incredible story about a series of murders in her town. It is only a chance reading of a notice in a black chronicle that sparks his interest to investigate whether there is any truth to the story he has heard. And he has a very difficult task ahead of him, because - as the old lady said - when no one suspects you, killing is actually a piece of cake...

(* 15 September 1890 - †12. January 1976) The British writer Agatha Christie belongs - and rightly so - to the legends of detective fiction. Her biography has been described and depicted in a number of books (as well as her own autobiography from 1977), and fateful moments from her life have become the subject of a film. The author's extensive bibliography - almost 300 works including theatre and radio plays, romantic prose, a collection of poetry or a collection of poems and short stories for children - is mapped in several encyclopedias (including, among others, lists and characterizations of characters or film, television and theatre adaptations), The secrets of her work are most recently revealed in detail in The Secret Notebooks of Agatha Christie published in 2009 (Czech 2010) and The Thoughtful Murders of Agatha Christie (Czech 2012), two books from the pen of John Curran, who studied in detail 73 volumes of the author's handwritten notes. All of Agatha Christie's detective novels have been published again and again all over the world, and their intelligent, meticulously crafted and, above all, thrilling stories still appeal to millions of readers today.
