Description
Book Synopsis
In this exclusive authorized collection of short crime stories from the Queen of Mystery, Poirot must solve twelve dangerous, demanding, and positively ingenious cases. Now with a beautiful new series look!
In appearance, Hercule Poirot hardly resembles the ancient Greek hero who is his namesake. Yet--reasons the detective--like Hercules, he has been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters.
So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot makes up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed "Labors." Each will go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
Review Quotes

"A finely shaped book, richly devious and quite brilliant--by far the best volume of Poirot shorts." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Hercule Poirot was and is the gold standard among brilliant and quirky detectives, and the Christie touch with plot and puzzle has never been equaled, much less exceeded." - John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author
