Poirot has a new challenge on his hands. The A B C murderer killed Mrs Ascher in Andover, then Betty Barnard in Bexhill, then moved on to Sir Carmichael Clarke in Churston - his pattern is clear.
A B C even likes to write to Poirot and tell him where and when the next murder will be. So it should be easy to catch him, shouldn't it?
