Destination unknown

Big Four

She fell head over heels for the charming young man one afternoon. And by nightfall, Victoria Jones had conspired to follow him to Baghdad. But no daydream of love could match the real life adventure that unfolded: a stranger was stabbed in her bed, someone issued a hushed warning, and her rival for Edward's affections neatly arranged her kidnapping. From the steamy Arab marketplace to the vast and arid desert, Victoria was pursued by an unknown power that threatened not only her, but the fate of the entire world ...

Rendez-vous à Bagdad

La lettre est arrivée par la poste. Manifestement l'auteur, qui signe A.B.C., est un peu agacé par l'insupportable fatuité d'Hercule Poirot : « Monsieur le malin, l'énigme que vous aurez à résoudre vous donnera du fil à retordre. Cela se passera le 21 à Andover... » Poirot, qui a décidé de ne s'occuper désormais que de « la crème des crimes », n'a plus qu'à attendre. Et le jour dit, à Andover, le crime a lieu; mais la victime en est une modeste buraliste, assassinée tout bonnement dans sa boutique, et tout semble accuser le mari, ivrogne notoire et homme violent.
  Mais rien n'est jamais si simple. Et d'abord, qui est ce mystérieux A.B.C. ?

A. B. C. contre Poirot

Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is summoned to France after receiving a distressing letter with a urgent cry for help. Upon his arrival in Merlinville-sur-Mer, the investigator finds the man who penned the letter, the South American millionaire Monsieur Renauld, stabbed to death and his body flung into a freshly dug open grave on the golf course adjoining the property. Meanwhile the millionaire's wife is found bound and gagged in her room. Apparently, it seems that Renauld and his wife were victims of a failed break-in, resulting in Renauld's kidnapping and death.There's no lack of suspects: his wife, whose dagger served as the weapon; his embittered son, who would have killed for independence; and his mistress, who refused to be ignored - and each felt deserving of the dead man's fortune. The police think they've found the cumprit. But Poirot has his doubts. Why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And who was the impassioned love-letter in the pocket for? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically murdered corpse...
