Marking exactly 50 years since the publication of Agatha Christie's final Hercule Poirot novel, this limited edition boxed set brings together the first Poirot novel THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES with her last, CURTAIN, in which Poirot and Hastings return to the scene of their first case together.
First published in September 1975, nearly 60 years after Agatha Christie began writing Hercule Poirot's debut THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES, CURTAIN takes the elderly Belgian detective and his old friend Captain Hastings back to Styles, the rambling country house where they solved their first murder together – and where history seems determined to repeat itself.
Available for a limited time only, this boxed set of two Special Edition hardbacks includes
A unique letter written by Agatha Christie in 1936 in which Hercule Poirot introduces himself to his new American editor
An article by Agatha Christie, Drugs and Detective Stories, written for University College Hospital Magazine in 1941, in which she reminisces about the inspiration for her first book
Agatha Christie’s original unpublished courtroom ending to The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced by Christie expert Dr John Curran
