Synopsis

To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning, but where was the beginning? Was it the blow to the back of Father Gorman's head? Or the priest's visit to a woman on her death bed? Or the violent squabble he had witnessed earlier?

From the Back Cover:

THE PALE HORSE

To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning?

Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman’s head? Or the priest’s visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier?

'Agatha Christie' was born in Torquay 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is attribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots.
