Poirot Investigates

Librarian's note: this entry is for the collection of stories, "Poirot Investigates." Entries for the individual short stories can be found elsewhere. The very first collection of superb short stories featuring Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings. First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond… then came the ‘suicide’ that was murder… the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat… a suspicious death in a locked gun-room… a million dollar bond robbery… the curse of a pharaoh’s tomb… a jewel robbery by the sea… the abduction of a Prime Minister… the disappearance of a banker… a phone call from a dying man… and, finally, the mystery of the missing will. What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot! Get ready for: 1. The Adventure of The Western Star 2. The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor 3. The Adventure of The Cheap Flat 4. The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge 5. The Million Dollar Bond Robbery 6. The Adventure of The Egyptian Tomb 7. The Jewel Robbery at The Grand Metropolitan 8. The Kidnapped Prime Minister 9. The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim 10. The Adventure of The Italian Nobleman 11. The Case of The Missing Will. It should be noted that the above stories are the contents of the original UK edition. The American edition, which came out a year later in 1925, had three extras and more Hercule Poirot. They are: 12. The Veiled Lady 13. The Lost Mine 14. The Chocolate Box.
