Millionaire twice over, tyrannical and ruthless – has Simeon Lee become sentimental about his children in his old age? Or does he have a more sinister motive in bringing them all together?With unseasonal trepidation, the family assembles. In a brilliantly created atmosphere of jealousy and suspicion, a brutal murder is committed. Hercule Poirot will need all his mastery to solve this audacious crime.
