A nice version with the cover from the first edition.
The Great War is over, and jobs are scarce. Childhood friends Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley are young, in love... and flat broke. Restless for excitement, they decide to embark on a daring business scheme: Young Adventurers Ltd.—"willing to do anything, go anywhere." But they get more than they bargained for when their first assignment for the sinister Mr. Whittington draws them into a diabolical conspiracy that leads them both to many dangerous situations—danger that could put an abrupt end to their business…and their lives.
The Secret Adversary was the second published detective fiction novel by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in 1922. Rather than featuring her now famous Hercules Poirot, the book introduces the characters of Tommy and Tuppence, who feature in five books spanning Agatha Christie's writing career—three other novels and one collection of short stories.
