Adaptation by Charles Osborne of her play of the same title. A scientist places an urgent call to Poirot. It seems that a member of his household wants to steal a secret formula for advanced weaponry. On his arrival at the estate, Poirot finds that his client has been poisoned; the vehicle is his coffee. He takes it black; so were the results. He is as dead as a door nail. As in The Unexpected Guest, suspicion shifts among the members of the household scene by scene. So does the motive for whacking him. See if you can outwit Auntie Agatha.
