A priest's death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub...
To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn,Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning
Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman's head Or was it when the priest's assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman's cassock Or could it have been the priest's visit,just minutes before,to a woman on her death bed
Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier
Wherever the beginning lies,Mark and his sidekick,Ginger Corrigan,may soon have cause to wish they'd never found it...

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.
