From the Back Cover
Now the Major TV Series Partners in Crime
Set during World War II, Agatha Christie’s riveting novel in her Tommy and Tuppence series follows the unlikely espionage agents as they pursue a pair of Nazi spies who have murdered Britain’s top agent.
World War II is raging, and while the RAF struggles to keep the Luftwaffe at bay, Britain faces a sinister threat from “the enemy within”—Nazis posing as ordinary citizens.
With pressure mounting, the intelligence service appoints two improbable spies, Tommy and Tuppence Beresfordac. Their mission: to seek out a man and a woman from among the colorful guests at Sans Souci, a seaside hotel. But this assignment is far from an easy stroll along the promenade—N and M have just murdered Britain’s finest agent and no one can be trusted.
“Any mystery writer who wants to learn how to plot should spend a few days reading Agatha Christie.”—Donna Leon, internationally bestselling author of the Commissario Guido Brunetti novels

It retailed at 7/6d. The title is taken from a catechism in the Book Of Common Prayer which asks, "What is your Christian name? Answer N. or M. The "N. or M." here stands for the Latin, "nomen vel nomina", meaning name or names". It is an accident of typography that "nomina" came to be represented by "m". The novel is the first to feature the mature versions of her detectives Tommy and Tuppence, whose previous appearances had been in the adventure of "The Secret Adversary" and in the short story collection "Partners in Crime". They become involved in one of their most baffling cases in the tense early days of World War II. Hitler's two most trusted agents are in England. N is a man, ? M is a woman. Both are masters of cunning, deception ? and murder. After the outbreak of the War Tommy is approached by a secret agent named Grant to go undercover once more. Since Tommy has not been in the field for many years, nobody knows him, and he can investigate unofficially. * This is a NEAR VG copy of the 1st/8th. with some age & wear reducing it to GD++.* 0 192 pp. 1974-01-01. n.
