A full-length Hercule Poirot novel, adapted from Agatha
Christie’s stage play by Charles Osborne Sir Claud Amory’s
revolutionary new formula for a powerful explosive is stolen.
Locking his house-guests in the library, Sir Claud switches off the
lights to allow the thief to replace the formula, no questions
asked. When the lights come on, he is dead, and Hercule Poirot and
Captain Hastings have to unravel a tangle of family feuds, old
flames and suspicious foreigners to find the killer and prevent a
global catastrophe. BLACK COFFEE was Agatha Christie’s first
playscript, originally performed in 1930 and made into a now
rarely-seen film the following year. Combining her typically
beguiling plot and sparkling dialogue with his own faithful
narrative, Charles Osborne’s novelisation is ‘A worthy addition
to the Christie canon’ (The Spectator)
