From the publisher's blurb, "Here for the first time in one volume, is the complete collection of fifty stories about Hercule Poirot. The shrewd detective with the egg-shaped head and the enormous black mustaches was created by one of the great storytellers of the world.

Poirot had a passion for order, for rational thought, and he had a justified confidence in his deductive genius. No matter what the provocation, he remained calm.

Poirot finds the solution every time!" ix [2], 3-861 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
