The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie

A Cry for Help on a Quiet Night... A Body on the Lonely Links.

Step onto the treacherous fairways of France with the world’s most famous detective in The Murder on the Links, a brilliant classic mystery from the Queen of Crime herself, Agatha Christie.

Receiving a frantic, cryptic letter pleading for protection, Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings rush to the aid of millionaire Paul Renauld. But they arrive too late. Renauld has been found stabbed in the back, his body dumped in a freshly dug grave on the edge of the golf course linking the luxurious Villa Geneviève.

The scene is staged with bizarre precision: a brand-new coat, a dropped letter, and a mysterious woman seen nearby. But Poirot is not the only brilliant detective on the case. The confident, flamboyant Monsieur Giraud of the Sûreté represents a new school of detection—one of scientific fact over psychological deduction—and he is certain his methods will outshine the "old-fashioned" Poirot.

As the two great minds clash, the list of suspects grows: the victim’s beautiful, terrified wife; his secretive son; a known blackmailer; and a passionate mistress. In a labyrinth of hidden identities, shocking secrets, and double-crosses, Poirot must use his "little grey cells" to unravel a truth more astonishing than anyone could have imagined.
