From one of the most well-known mystery authors of all time comes The Man in the Brown Suit, a classic detective novel by English author Agatha Christie. Christie is most popular for her works that revolve around detective Hercule Poirot, but she has written countless other mystery novels with just as much crime, drama, and thrill in them. The Man in the Brown Suit, originally published in 1924, features Anne Beddingfield, an orphan who craves adventure and moves to London in search of it. While at the tube station after failing a job interview, Anne watches a man fall onto the track and die. A doctor swoops in to declare the man dead, and hurriedly leaves. However, Anne picks up a note he dropped, which seems to be connected to his death. It all seems a little too strange, and Anne finds herself in the adventure she was always dreaming of. Suddenly, she is headed to South Africa to solve the mystery of the man's death. The Man in the Brown Suit has everything a classic mystery needs: murder, chase, and stolen diamonds. With a strong female lead, attention to detail, and a plot that will have your heart racing as you read, Christie has managed to write a masterpiece of detective fiction. The Man in the Brown Suit is a story that can't be missed.

“Agatha Christie must surely be the most imitated author in the entire canon of literature – what greater acclaim could there be?” -Peter JamesPaul Renauld sends for Hercule Poirot, who arrives to find his host dead in a newly dug grave. Can the master sleuth sort through a bewildering array of clues and outfox an unfriendly police officer to find the almost perfectly hidden identity of the murderer? Agatha Christie’s legendary sleuth Hercule Poirot returns only to find his would-be employer slain, too many suspects, and his refined investigative technique dismissed by the detective leading the local police investigation. The two butt heads, competing to solve the crime until a second corpse turns up, slain in the exact same fashion as the first. It takes Poirot’s razor-keen insight and deep knowledge of the history of crime to tie both killings to another as he brilliantly works toward an unexpected conclusion. Upon its original publication in 1923, the novel was greeted with great acclaim as a superbly structured mystery that was all but certain to baffle readers. This, the second investigation of Hercule Poirot, follows The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which is also available from Mint Editions. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Murder on the Links is both modern and readable.
A malformation of the grey cells may coincide quite easily with the face of a Madonna. - Poirot In the second outing of Hercule Poirot, the world-famous Belgian detective is called to France.

Inspector Giraud of the Paris S ret believes he knows who is responsible - but something doesn't add up. Only Poirot is able to avoid the traps and red herrings laid by the killer, and it will take all his brilliance to solve this shocking murder. Agatha Christie is the most enduringly popular writers from the golden age of crime fiction. Full of wit, intrigue and clever twists, Murder on the Links is Christie at her best.
