Un ingenioso crimen que sólo Hércules Poirot puede resolver.
«Diabólicamente inteligente.» The New York Times Book Review
La joven Nick Buckley ha escapado tres veces de la muerte: primero, los frenos de su coche fallaron cuando se disponía a bajar por una colina; después, una enorme roca estuvo a punto de aplastarla, y por último, un pesado cuadro se desplomó sobre su cama. Cuando Hércules Poirot descubre un agujero de bala en el sombrero de Nick, está seguro de que la chica necesita de su protección. Sin embargo, los esfuerzos del detective no son suficientes, y pronto se da cuenta de que el asesino no piensa parar hasta alcanzar su objetivo. Poirot deberá reunir todo su ingenio para resolver el caso antes de que se cometa el crimen.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An ingenious crime that only Hercule Poirot can solve.
"Diabolically intelligent".The New York Times Book Review
Young Nick Buckley has escaped death three times: first, the brakes of her car failed when she was about to go down a hill; then a huge rock nearly crushed her, and at last a heavy painting collapsed on her bed. When Hercule Poirot discovers a bullet hole in Nick's hat, he's sure the girl needs his protection. However, the detective's efforts are not enough, and he soon realizes that the killer does not intend to stop until he reaches his goal. Poirot must muster all his wits to solve the case before the crime is committed.

About the Author
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.
Born in Torquay in 1891, Agatha
Christie received a typical Victorian education from governesses in
her father's home. After her father's death, she moved to Paris, where she
studied piano and singing. He married in 1914 and had a daughter, but their
marriage ended in divorce in 1928. Two years later, during a trip to the
Middle East, she met archaeologist Max Mallowan, whom she married that same
year; thereafter, she spent several months a year in Syria and Iraq, the scene
of Come and tell me how you live (Andanzas 50, now also in the
Fábula collection) and some of her detective novels, such as
Murder in Mesopotamia or
Intrigue in Baghdad. In addition to the
great success enjoyed by her famous novels, from 1953 onwards she gained fame
with the theatrical adaptations of his novels in London's West End. In 1971
she was awarded the distinction of Dame of the British
Empire. She died in 1976.
