About this listen

A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.

Mr Davenheim, a wealthy financier, leaves his home to mail a letter, then fails to return. The story fills the newspapers and intrigues Hercule Poirot, who challenges Inspector Japp that he can solve the case before the police, and without leaving his flat.
