Description

Mark Easterbrook moves to Chelsea to write a book. He is a historian. He grieves for his godmother, Lady Hesketh-Dubois. At a café on London's King's Road, he sees two young women fight. Within a week, one turns up dead in bed. Her death echoes that of his godmother.

The two dead women had never met. Yet a strange list names them both. Someone found it at the Calul balan inn. Three women are said to live there. People fear them and call them witches. They claim the women can kill through powers beyond nature. Mark must find the link before his name joins the list.

Agatha Christie's crime novel suits readers who like mysteries with threats that seem to come from powers beyond nature. Lidia Gradinaru translated this edition from English. It forms part of the Agatha Christie series.

Christie wrote 66 crime novels, 14 books of stories and 19 plays. She also wrote the story of her own life. Her work includes nonfiction and light-hearted tales of travel with her husband. Many of her novels have led to works for the screen. Her books have sold over two billion copies in more than 100 languages. The account of her reach ranks only the Bible and Shakespeare above her.
