Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident - the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff.
This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies - a husband and wife - shot dead.
But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder?
Poirot delves back into a crime committed 15 years earlier and discovers that, when there is a distinct lack of physical evidence, it's just as well that 'old sins leave long shadows'...

Hercule Poirot stood on the clifftop. Here, many years earlier, there had been a fatal accident. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two bodies—a husband and wife who had been shot dead.
But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder? Poirot delves into the past and discovers that “old sins leave long shadows.”
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the bestselling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of World War I, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First British Edition. Hercule Poirot returns in the author's 40th mystery featuring the beloved inspector & featuring the final appearance of Adriane Oliver. From the estate of a local mystery lover/author, this is the true FIRST British Edition from Collins, 1972 (see our listin #015970 for a First US Greenway Edition). Unfortunately, it is an ex-library copy, with just a few stamps & markings in the front matter, but overall soiling & wear from handling. A few small stains to outside page edges along top & fore edge; interior is generally very clean; NO writing/underlining/highlighting. The unclipped DJ (with orig. L1.60 price on lower front flap) is VG-: virtually no edgewear, as it has been laminated. Very slight chipping to both ends of spine. Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!. Seller Inventory # 014061
