Curtain. Poirot's Last Case.
London: Collins, 1975. [Murder Mystery] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.221 [3]. Publisher's black cloth lettered in gilt to spine, typographic dust-wrapper priced at £2.95. Contents clean, no inscriptions, some light wear to jacket extremities. Bright overall. Poirot's final mystery, published September 1975. This was actually written during the war and kept aside as a legacy for Christie's daughter, but her publishers finally persuaded the author to release the book during her lifetime as the final word on her great character. Here, Captain Hastings persuades his now elderly friend to solve one last case, fittingly at Styles (the location for his debut), which has fallen on hard times and is now a hotel. Item #75948
