A nice copy with the cover from the first edition.
Framed in the doorway of Hercule Poirot’s bedroom stands an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man stares for a moment, then sways and falls. Who is he? Is he suffering from shock, or just exhaustion? Above all, what is the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life—and that of his “twin brother”—to uncover the truth.
The Big Four, first published in 1927, is the fifth book to feature Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings, and Inspector Japp. A tale of international espionage, the "Big Four" refers to four super-scoundrels who scheme to dominate the world: a Chinese criminal, an American millionaire, a French chemist, and an unknown 'destroyer.' Only the brilliant detective stands between them and world domination.
Another classic book in the Seawolf Press Agatha Christie's 100th Anniversary Collection!
