As a favour to an old friend, Hercule Poirot finds himself at a
summer fete in Devon, taking part not in a Treasure Hunt, but a
Murder Hunt, in this never-before-published novella version of Dead
Man's Folly. Now released for the first time in print in this
illustrated collector's edition. Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the
hosts of a village fete, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock
murder mystery. In good faith, Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime
writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt. But at the last
minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert
assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is
about to happen... In 1954, Agatha Christie wrote this novella with
the intention of donating the proceeds to a fund set up to buy
stained glass windows for her local church at Churston Ferrers, and
she filled the story with references to local places, including her
own home of Greenway. But having completed it, she decided instead
to expand the story into a full-length novel, Dead Man's Folly,
which was published two years later, and donated a Miss Marple
story (Greenshaw's Folly) to the church fund instead. Unseen for
sixty years, Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly is finally
published in this collector's hardback edition. The book includes a
jacket painting, illustrations and exclusive introduction by Tom
Adams, Agatha Christie's most famous cover artist, who is back
illustrating Agatha Christie for the first time in more than 30
years.
