Vintage Good Condition - Spine is scuffed and faded, with bumped, frayed ends and worn corners. Small writing and light marks are present on the front endpaper. Pages remain readable. Published 1973.
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford hope their move to an old house in an English village will bring a peaceful retirement. Among the possessions left behind is a collection of books, and an apparently innocent volume of adventure fiction catches Tuppence's attention. Underlined letters reveal a disturbing suggestion: a woman named Mary Jordan did not die a natural death. The message points towards a mystery many decades old, but the couple soon discover that the danger surrounding it has not entirely faded. In their final novel-length adventure, Agatha Christie's experienced partners follow fragments of local memory and the traces of an earlier crime. Domestic curiosity gradually opens into something far more threatening, proving that the past can remain dangerously alive.
