description: On the short flight from Le Bourget to Croydon the woman in seat number two dies from a wasp sting. Hercule Poirot is not convinced that a wasp sting caused the death. With a large cast of characters to choose from in this ‘locked-room’ mystery and working with Scotland Yard and the Sûreté he sets out to discover the truth in his very methodical way. Christie satirizes both her own and her husband's profession in this novel with the character Daniel Clancy, a detective story writer and a couple of French archaeologists. Description in Spanish: El avión-correo Prometheus despega del aeropuerto de Le Bourget en París, camino de Craydon, con catorce personas a bordo. Entre ellos se encuentra el famoso detective Poirot. Al llegar a su destino, una pasajera, madame Giselle, aparece muerta. La única señal de violencia es un pequeño pinchazo en el cuello. A sus pies encuentran un dardo envenenado de aquellos que lanzan los indios suramericanos con cerbatana. Madame Giselle era una conocida prestamista; todos los pasajeros tenían algún motivo para odiarla. Pero ¿quién lo hizo realmente y cómo?
