Christie presents a shadowy international criminal syndicate — known only as the Big Four — whose reach extends into the highest corridors of power across multiple continents, threatening world order itself. The novel unfolds at a breathless, almost pulpy pace, blending the sharp deductive brilliance Poirot is famous for with the high-stakes tension of a spy thriller. Christie illustrates her detective's razor-sharp intellect against a backdrop of disguises, double-crosses, and seemingly impossible murders, keeping readers gripped from the first page to the last. Originally serialized in magazine form, the story retains an episodic energy that makes it one of the most action-packed and unconventional entries in the beloved Poirot canon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887919411419,"sku":"2026200007826-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a8165802-d6f6-4232-b5d0-179a30080465.png?v=1781749257","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007826-secondhand-the-big-four","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
