This little-known mystery will surprise and delight Christie fans when a physicist named Sir Claude Amory, who has come up with a formula for an atom bomb, is poisoned (in his coffee, naturally) and Hercule Poirot is called in to solve the case. Not before many wonderful twists and turns in true Christie tradition.
