Celebrating 100 years of Agatha Christie crime fiction
Stabbed in the back
A pieced of lead piping nearby
It should be a simple case...
On a French golf course, a millionaire is found dead on the grounds stabbed in the back. A telegram brings Poirot to France. However he arrives far too late to even meet his client, whose brutally stabbed body now lay face down on a golf course, does not help Poirot at all.
But why is the dead man wearing his son's overcoat? And who was the love-letter in the pocket for? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by a massive discovery.
Agatha Christie
The Detection Club was founded in London in 1930 by a distinguished group of British detective fiction writers dedicated to the art of the mystery novel. Its founding members included Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, Anthony Berkeley, and other leading figures of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Chesterton served as the club's first president, and Christie later held that position for nearly two decades. The Floating Admiral brought together fourteen contributors in an extraordinary experiment in collaborative storytelling. Rather than creating separate stories, the writers constructed a single intricate mystery, each adding new complications while respecting the clues established by earlier contributors. The result remains one of the most unusual achievements in detective fiction.
