Autorentext

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English author of mystery fiction whose status in the genre is unparalleled. A prolific and dedicated creator, she wrote short stories, plays and poems, but her fame is due primarily to her mystery novels, especially those featuring two of the most celebrated sleuths in crime fiction, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Ms. Christie’s novels have sold in excess of two billion copies, making her the best-selling author of fiction in the world, with total sales comparable only to those of William Shakespeare or The Bible. Despite the fact that she never enjoyed going to the cinema, almost 40 films have been produced based on her work.

Klappentext

When Anthony Cade, an easygoing drifter working in Africa, agrees to deliver a parcel to an English country house, he finds himself at the center of a complex plot involving murder, hidden secrets, and a diverse cast of suspicious characters. In The Secret of Chimneys, a seemingly simple errand for a friend plunges a young drifter named Anthony Cade into a murderous international conspiracy. The book is a quintessential example of Agatha Christie's ability to create a compelling and labyrinthine puzzle out of international intrigue, espionage, and murder on the English countryside.
