Agatha Christie's exotic seaside mystery thriller, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
It was not unusual to find the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun...she had been strangled.
Ever since her arrival, the air had been thick with sexual tension. Each of the seaside guest had a motive to kill her, including Arelena's new husband.
But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent 'crime of passion' conceals something much more evil.
'I never cease to admire the fertility of Agatha Christie's imagination. Her characters are vivacious and entertaining.'
Sunday Times
'She springs her secret like a land-mine'
