This novel is one of Hercule Poirot's adventures, blending psychological mystery with meticulous detective work. The story begins with a chance encounter between Poirot and his friend, the writer Ariane Oliver, who approaches him with a mysterious matter concerning a distant past, one that everyone thought had been buried fifteen years ago. But what starts as a simple puzzle quickly transforms into a tangled web of secrets and buried truths, linking a double suicide, a new love affair between two young people, and a profound human tragedy. The author masterfully blends emotional atmosphere with intellectual investigations, as Poirot navigates the threads of the story with calculated steps, facing psychological challenges no less complex than the physical evidence.
