Book description :
A dead heiress, a murdered recluse, and a slain playboy are but a few of the unfortunate victims of confounding crimes committed in the pages of Agatha Christie’s "The Under Dog and Other Stories," a superior collection of short story, mystery fiction all featuring Hercule Poirot.
The beautiful heiress was found dead on a train. The forgotten recluse made headlines after he was shot in the head, and the wealthy playboy was stabbed through the heart during a costume ball. We shouldn't forget the elderly woman who suspected that she was slowly being poisoned to death, and the prince who feared for his reputation when his fiancée became embroiled in another man's murder.
Who but Agatha Christie could concoct such uncanny crimes? Who but Belgian detective Hercule Poirot could possibly solve them? It's a challenge to be met, and a triumph of detection.
The stories are: 1. The Under Dog, 2. The Plymouth Express, 3. The Affair at the Victory Ball, 4. The Market Basing Mystery, 5. The Lemesurier Inheritance, 6. The Cornish Mystery, 7. The King of Clubs, 8. The Submarine Plans, and 9. The Adventure of the Clapham Cook.
