A year after their last meeting Hercule Poirot, now emaciated, crippled with arthritis and wheel chair bound, sent for his old companion Captain Hastings. Hastings had since become a widower and was quite depressed. Poirot showed him a letter received from Styles Court, the place where they solved their first murder together. The case seemed like fate and they readily accepted. When the great detective branded an unknown person among the seemingly harmless guests at Styles as a ruthless serial killer in five apparently unrelated murders, Hastings began doubting Poirot’s once renowned 'little grey cells'. But Poirot knew that he had to work quickly before the murderer struck again, even if it meant putting his life on the line.
