«A new signature edition of Agatha Christies thriller, featuring the recurring character of Colonel Race from «Death on the Nile», «Cards on the Table» and «The Man in the Brown Suit». Six people sit down to dinner at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary — in solemn memory of Rosemary Barton who died at the same table exactly one year previously. No one present on that fateful night would ever forget the womans face, contorted beyond recognition — or what they remembered about her astonishing life.» |
