Bien sûr, la retraite a ses charmes... Cependant, Hercule Poirot ne peut s'empêcher, de temps à autre, de reprendre du service. Oh ! pas pour n'importe quelle affaire, bien entendu. Un détective aussi célèbre que lui ne se dérangerait pas pour un meurtre ordinaire. Non, Hercule Poirot ne s'intéresse qu'aux crimes les plus déroutants, les plus passionnants, les plus...
Bref, à la crème des crimes. Et quelque chose lui dit que cette curieuse lettre signée A.B.C. va l'entraîner dans un mystère suffisamment épineux pour qu'il daigne faire fonctionner ses petites cellules grises. Oui, de toute évidence, A.B.C. fait partie de la crème des assassins... De quoi réjouir la crème des détectives !
