Poirot Investigates

Eleven early cases for the fastidious Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, narrated by his faithful companion Captain Hastings. From a stolen diamond and a kidnapped prime minister to a missing millionaire and a will that vanishes without a trace, each story showcases Poirot's celebrated "little grey cells" at work on a fresh puzzle. Collected here in their original 1924 magazine form, these stories capture Christie's detective near the start of his long career, already brilliant, vain, and utterly unmistakable.
