Agatha Christie's disturbing 1960s mystery thriller,reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
Gipsy's Acre was a truly beautiful upland site with views out to sea - and in Michael Rogers it stirred a child-like fantasy.
There,amongst the dark fir trees,he planned to build a house,find a girl and live happily ever after.
Yet,as he left the village,a shadow of menace hung over the land. For this was the place where accidents happened. Perhaps Michael should have heeded the locals'warnings:'There's no luck for them as meddles with Gipsy's Acre.'
Michael Rogers is a man who is about to learn the true meaning of the old saying'In my end is my beginning...'

Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
