The rich Mr Shaitana has a strange hobby: he collects... murderers. Horrible crimes, killer's tactics, the logic of crime - his secret passion. And yet - risk. One day, Shaitana invites eight guests to dinner: four detectives, including the famous Hercule Poirot, and four alleged murderers...
Book 2. A tragedy in three acts
A bohemian party at the house of former actor Sir Charles Cartwright turns fatal for one of the guests, Pastor Babbington, as he suddenly dies after taking a sip of a cocktail.
Later examination reveals no traces of poison in the drink. Everything looks like an accident. No motive for the crime. Even the famous detective Hercule Poirot is sure that the death of the old priest is just an unfortunate accident.
But what if he is wrong - and in fact it was a premeditated murder, planned in as much detail as a good theatre performance? Who is the director of this action? And what role does Poirot himself play in it? In this investigation, the detective may become the next victim... Book 3. The Death of Lord Edgware American actress Sylvia Wilkinson has long made no secret of the fact that she would like to divorce her husband, Lord Edgware. After all, she had a man in mind, both more noble and richer... Therefore, when Edgware was found dead in his study, no one doubted Sylvia's guilt. Moreover, some circumstances pointed to her direct involvement in her husband's death.
The actress asked the great detective Hercule Poirot to help her save her name from indelible shame. But how can the detective believe Wilkinson that she is innocent if the newly-made widow recently asked Poirot for a completely different favour - to help her get rid of her husband?
Book 4. The Danger of the House on the Outskirts While on holiday on the English coast, Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings meet the young and charming Nick Buckley. After the first conversation with her, Poirot shows Hastings the bullet that hit Miss Buckley's hat and was supposed to kill her.
Poiro decides to protect Nick and catch the culprit. He and Hastings come to Nick's house, which is called the Endhouse. Poirot explains everything to her, and Nick confesses that there have been three attempts on her life before, but she did not attach any importance to it, considering it an accident. Poirot decides to take precautions and advises Nick to invite a friend whom she can trust. Nick decides to invite her cousin Maggie Buckley.
When her guests arrive to watch the fireworks, a crime occurs. At first, Poirot thinks that Nick has died, but when they approach the corpse, they see that it is Maggie, who has been confused with Nick because of the red shawl.
