A murder trial takes a diabolical turn when the wife of the accused takes a stand ... A woman -- and a loaded revolver -- signal premonitions of doom ... A stranded motorist seeks refuge in a remote mansion, and is greeted with a dire warning ... Detective Hercule Poirot faces his greatest challenge when his services are enlisted -- by the victim -- in a bizarre locked-room murder.

From the stunning title story (which inspired the classic film thriller) to the rarest gems in detective fiction, these 11 tales of baffling crime and brilliant deduction showcase Agatha Christie at her dazzling best.

The witness for the prosecution / The red signal / The fourth man / S.O.S. / Where there's a will / The mystery of the blue jar / Sing a song of sixpence / The mystery of the Spanish shawl / Philomel Cottage / Accident / The second gong.

Hello, I'm a travelling book!!!
I've been to many places and now I am visiting the BookCrossing Anniversary Convention in Athens. Take me with you, read me and then please release me again, so that I can make new friends and continue my journey.

Update: I love the old movie "witness for the prosecution" with Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. So I took this book for reading this novel. It's unusual but I prefer the movie.
