Cat among the Pigeons (精装)

作者简介

A frightened adolescent brings Hercule Poirot one of the most challenging cases of his long and brilliant career. A killer is terrorizing a famous school for girls; an unsuspecting student has become a magnet for evil and death.



The trouble started in a palace in Ramat when Prince Ali Yusaf gave a packet of jewels to his private pilot, Bob Rawlinson, in the hope that he could smuggle them to England. Long before the packet reached its destination, Prince Ali and Bob were dead, their attempt to escape a coup d'etat a failure. Several groups of people wanted the packet, and some of them jumped  to the conclusion that Bob had hidden it in his sister's or his young niece's luggage. To the predators, murder was a small price for jewels worth a million pounds.



This story of intrigue and murder is Agatha Christie at her very best. The reader is cunningly lead down a trail of violence, bypassing the expected, to arrive at a set of stunning surprises when the astute Belgian detective separates the guilty from the innocent and, unmasking the killer "cat," ends a nightmare of horror.
