In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a most
unusual series of crimes at a student hostel intrigues Inspector Hercule
Poirot, especially when a simple case of kleptomania paves the way to
murder.
Hercule Poirot doesn't need all his detective skills to realize
something is troubling his secretary, Miss Lemon--she has made three
mistakes in a simple letter. It seems an outbreak of kleptomania at the
student hostel in which her sister works is distracting his usually
efficient assistant.
Deciding that desperate times call for desperate measures, the great
detective agrees to investigate. Unknown to Poirot, however, desperation
is a motive he shares with a killer. . . .
