Could a murder at an English school be Hercule Poirot’s toughest assignment? Can he find the cat before this most feline of killers strikes again? This brand new Special Edition hardback is a book no cat-loving Agatha Christie fan will want to miss.

Schooldays can be tough. Who will learn the fatal lesson?

Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light while the rest of the school sleeps. In the sports pavilion, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of the unpopular games mistress – shot through the heart from point-blank range.

About the Author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
