Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case

First edition, first printing. In black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 222pp. 8vo. Cloth very slightly rounded at corners and spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, lightly rubbed on edges and corners, small nick on rear upper edge, some mild shelf wear visible on verso. Written more than 30 years before it was published, Hercule Poirot’s legion of admirers often saw this as the best of all. In Curtain, the wheel comes full circle and Poirot finds himself back at Styles, the country house where he made his first appearance in The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
