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'
