"Éste, Hastings, será mi último caso. Será también el más interesante de todos."

Muchos años atrás, Hércules Poirot resolvió en la mansión Styles un célebre caso, con el que inició su brillante carrera de detective en Inglaterra. Ahora, ya en su ocaso, con problemas de corazón y movilidad, Poirot regresa a Styles y cita allí a su inseparable amigo, el capitán Hastings. El asesino ya ha matado impunemente en cinco ocasiones y, como todos los criminales, se cree más inteligente que nadie. Y eso es algo que Poirot no puede consentir.

Por última vez, Hércules Poirot, el investigador más célebre de la Historia, deberá llevar hasta el límite sus famosas célebres células grises para desenmascarar al asesino, mientras se da perfecta cuenta de que está ante su último caso.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The legendary detective saves his best for last as he races to apprehend a five-time killer before the final curtain descends in Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, the last book Agatha Christie published before her death.

The crime-fighting careers of Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings have come full circle they are back once again in the rambling country house in which they solved their first murder together.

Both Hercule Poirot and Great Styles have seen better days--but, despite being crippled with arthritis, there is nothing wrong with the great detective and his little gray cells. However, when Poirot brands one of the seemingly harmless guests a five-time murderer, some people have their doubts. But Poirot alone knows he must prevent a sixth murder before the curtain falls.
