ILLEGAL USE OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES CAUSES HEALTH DAMAGE; THEIR ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. This novel is a direct continuation of "Murder on the Orient Express" — and is practically second to none among "detective stories of all times and peoples." Agatha Christie is the most published author of all time after Shakespeare. The circulation of her books is second only to the works of Shakespeare and the Bible. More than a billion Christie books have been sold worldwide in English and just as many in other languages. She is the author of eighty detective novels and short story collections, twenty plays, two memoir books, and six psychological novels written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple have forever become iconic heroes of the suspense genre. On the luxurious steamer "Karnak," sailing down the Nile, a young millionaire recently married woman is murdered, and it turns out she had many enemies among the passengers. Anyone could have killed the confident and cheeky girl who stole the fiancé from her best friend. But none of the likely suspects committed this crime... Fortunately, on the steamer is the great detective Hercule Poirot, who knows all the society represented on the cruise, having met them in London, and is aware of each person's possible motives. And, of course, the first thing the Belgian thinks about is the "love triangle" involving the murdered woman, her newlywed husband, and a very passionate woman he left for the millionaire... -------------------------------------------------- "Undoubtedly, she is a genius." — Elizabeth George, New York Times bestselling author "Christie is generally considered a brilliant master of suspense. However, she represents something much more significant." — The Guardian "When it comes to murder drama — no one is more inventive than Christie." — Sunday Times "...I still adore Christie's novels." — Louise Penny "Reading a Christie novel is like biting into a ripe apple: pure, crisp, and absolute satisfaction..." — Tana French "Impeccable plot." — Daily Mail "You have to read twice immediately: the first time to enjoy, the second to follow the intricacies." — The Times "One of Poirot's best cases." — Sunday Times
