Pan Harley Quin se zjevuje či mizí naprosto nečekaně a do běhu událostí zasahuje téměř nepostřehnutelně, zanechává však za sebou zcela změněné či znovu rozehrané osudy lidí živých i dávno zemřelých; ne nadarmo sám sebe nazývá „obhájcem mrtvých“. Povídky s panem Quinem mají sice melodramatičtější atmosféru, nechybí v nich však pro autorku nejzásadnější ingredience: úkladná vražda – ať už mrtvola tvoří zátiší v saloncích starobylých rodinných sídel nebo je obklopena mondénním prostředím přímořských letovisek s luxusními hotely, kde krásné dámy šustí nákladnými róbami a skrývají temná tajemství…

Brilantné... autorka nám prezrádza všetko, čo chceme vedieť, a napriek tomu tápeme až do samého konca. The Times Pred dvanástimi rokmi sa na útese neďaleko sídla Overcliffe našli telá muža a ženy - boli to generál Alistair Ravenscroft s manželkou Margaret. Obaja zomreli na strelné poranenia, ale kto zabil koho? Bola to dohoda manželov o samovražde? Zločin z vášne? Alebo nebodaj chladnokrvná vražda? Poirot sa pokúša rozlúsknuť túto záhadu na želanie Celie, krstnej dcéry svojej priateľky Ariadne Oliverovej. Celia je dcérou zastreleného manželského páru a chce sa po rokoch konečne dozvedieť pravdu o smrti svojich rodičov. Hercule Poirot si postupne utvára obraz o starom zločine iba na základe jednotlivých svedectiev a vyhlásení svedkov a čím hlbšie sa ponára do vyšetrovania, tým väčšmi sa utvrdzuje v tom, že ak chýbajú fyzické dôkazy, treba sa spoľahnúť na to, že „staré hriechy vrhajú dlhé tiene“

Slavná detektivkářka Agatha Christie na cestě kolem světa – jedinečný dobový cestopis odhaluje její nepoznanou, dobrodružnou tvář. Před sto lety, v lednu 1922, vyplula Christie na desetiměsíční pouť. Propagační obchodní mise ji zavedla do Jižní Afriky, Austrálie, na Nový Zéland, Havaj, do Kanady a New Yorku. Desítky úžasných míst, svérázných postav a strastiplných i humorných situací – to vše popsala v dopisech své matce a zdokumentovala řadou fotografií, pohlednic či novinových výstřižků. Sestavovatel titulu, autorčin vnuk Mathew Prichard, doplnil knihu o vzpomínky převzaté z jejího Vlastního životopisu.

A full-length Hercule Poirot novel, adapted from Agatha Christie's stage play by Charles Osborne Sir Claud Amory's revolutionary new formula for a powerful explosive is stolen. Locking his house-guests in the library, Sir Claud switches off the lights to allow the thief to replace the formula, no questions asked. When the lights come on, he is dead, and Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings have to unravel a tangle of family feuds, old flames and suspicious foreigners to find the killer and prevent a global catastrophe. BLACK COFFEE was Agatha Christie's first playscript, originally performed in 1930 and made into a now rarely-seen film the following year. Combining her typically beguiling plot and sparkling dialogue with his own faithful narrative, Charles Osborne's novelisation is 'A worthy addition to the Christie canon' (The Spectator)

Za mlžných rán a stále ještě prohřátých večerů, v honosných sídlech i na odlehlých farmách, v městských uličkách, na pláži či v hloubi lesa – také podzimní období skýtá v povídkách Agathy Christie příležitost k napínavým příběhům. Ať už se jim snaží přijít na kloub Hercule Poirot, slečna Marplová, záhadný pan Quin nebo Tommy s Pentličkou, znovu nabízejí pestrou směsici chytře vymyšlených zápletek a ještě chytřejších – a o to nečekanějších rozuzlení, o něž se postarala spisovatelka – ne náhodou – nazývaná královnou zločinu.

Ona a její dva známí, spisovatel Mark Easterbrook a policejní inspektor Lejeune, spojí síly při řešení neobvyklého případu, v němž sehrají roli magie, bílí kohouti i skříňka plná blikajících žárovek. Na začátku je záhadná vražda kněze vracejícího se jednoho mlhavého večera od umírající ženy a ještě záhadnější seznam jmen nalezený v jeho botě. Chtěl pachatel získat právě tento kousek papíru? Co měli lidé na něm uvedení společného? A lze vraždit za pomocí čarodějnictví a okultních věd? Plavý kůň se dočkal několika televizních adaptací. Poslední z nich uvedla BBC v roce 2020 a objeví se rovněž na obrazovkách českých diváků.
