A special edition of Agatha Christie's early Poirot adventure novel
containing the original 12-part short story version "The Man Who
Was Number Four", unseen since 1924. The Big Four is the most
formidable crime syndicate of all time. A sinister Chinaman, a
multi-millionaire, a beautiful Frenchwoman and 'The Destroyer' are
terrorising the world with their fiendish genius. Only Hercule
Poirot's sensational methods of deduction stand in their way of
world domination, and after adventures as strange as the Arabian
nights, Poirot runs them to earth at last in a cave in the
Dolomites. The astonishing success of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
put Agatha Christie under enormous pressure to deliver another
Poirot book at a time of intense personal turmoil for the author.
Suffering from writer's block, and with the help of her
brother-in-law, Campbell Christie, she reluctantly dug out The Man
Who Was Number Four, a 12-week serial she had written for The
Sketch three years before - long before Ackroyd - and began
adapting it into a full-length novel. . . This Detective Story Club
classic is introduced by Agatha Christie historian Karl Pike, who
has unearthed the 12 magazine stories from the British Library
archives and presents here the original version of The Big Four, an
adventurous serial novel full of incident and cliffhangers, unseen
since 1924.
