Poirot Investigates

From the book cover

First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond...then came the 'suicide' that was murder... the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat...a suspicious death in a locked gun-room...a million dollar bond robbery...the curse of a pharaoh's tomb... a jewel robbery by the sea...the abduction of a Prime Minister... the disappearance of a banker...a phone call from a dying man...and, finally, the mystery of the missing will. 

What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!
