Part of Hercule Poirot

This collection contains four substantial cases: a death in a mews on Guy Fawkes Night, the disappearance of sensitive military plans, a killing associated with a Spanish chest and a suspicious death in a secluded house. Poirot works with Inspector Japp and, in one case, must protect a client whose own account is dangerously incomplete.
The stories range across diplomatic, domestic and romantic secrets in interwar Britain. Each uses a compact group of suspects and a physical arrangement that appears to dictate one explanation, before Poirot shows how timing, habit and emotional pressure change the meaning of the visible evidence.
