Synopsis

The idea appeals to Hercule Poirot's vanity. Before he retires to grow superior vegetables, he will undertake just twelve more cases. All of them will resemble the remarkable feats of strength performed by that hero of ancient Greece, the first Hercules, but using brain instead of brawn.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Like The Labors of Hercules, the twelve cases Poirot must solve in this captivating collection of short crime fiction stories are dangerous, demanding, and positively ingenious.

In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet—reasoned the detective—like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters.

So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot makes up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed “Labors.” Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
