Agatha Christie's deft skill in plotting is on full display in the
first adventure of Tommy and Tuppence, with seemingly disconnected
events revealing a complex web of intrigue. Behind the plot is a
formidable foe, a mysterious figure whose identity seems impossible
to determine and whose plans include murder. Tommy Beresford and
"Tuppence" Cowley's new firm, Young Adventurers Ltd opens for
business only to have their first customer drop out of sight at the
mere mention of a name. Careful investigation reveals connections
between a missing survivor of the torpedoed Lusitania, documents
highly compromising to the British government and a potentially
catastrophic plot masterminded by a very dangerous man whose
identity is known to no one living. The novel first appeared in
1922 and was greeted by reviews marveling at the author's masterful
concealment of the villain's identity, some going as far as to say
that unless the reader peeked at the final few pages there was no
way to know it, making this a truly secret adversary. Appearing as
silent movie in 1928 this was the first of the author's novels to
be made into a film. Although overshadowed by Christie's better
known sleuths, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence
were her favorite creations and her enthusiasm for the couple and
their adventures is transparent on the page. With an eye-catching
new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
The Secret Adversary is both modern and readable.
