action

After many years Poirot, now plagued by osteoarthritis, and Captain Hastings, who is now widowed, meet again. When they received an invitation to Styles, the house in which they solved their first case together, they quickly accepted it. But when the great detective calls one of the apparently harmless guests 'X', a ruthless serial killer, people doubt his sanity and the performance of his famous gray matter. But Poirot is sure that only he can prevent another murder, even if his own life falls by the wayside.
