When a gathering at a clifftop estate leads to murder, troubled detective James Leach and Superintendent Battle must unravel a web of secrets and jealousy—before another victim falls.

What is the connection among a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player?

To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at Gull's Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. As Superintendent Battle discovers, it is all part of a carefully laid plan—for murder.

Towards Zero by Agatha Christie brilliantly constructs this intricate puzzle of suspense, where every detail plays a critical role leading towards the dramatic climax.
