"And for five long hours the little man sat motionless, blinking his eyelids like a cat, his green eyes flickering and becoming steadily greener and greener."

Murder, kidnapping, robbery—oh my! Even the cleverest criminal is no match for the little grey cells of Hercule Poirot. Together with his trusted sidekick Captain Hastings, the Belgian detective with the magnificent moustaches untangles the most confounding cases. The theft of a famous diamond, the disappearance of the Prime Minister, and a suspiciously cheap flat are just some of the early cases in Poirot's storied career.

A collection of short stories featuring one of Agatha Christie's most famous detectives, Poirot Investigates was first published in 1924.

Known as the Queen of Crime, Christie is the best-selling fiction author of all time, whose works have been adapted for both screen and stage.
