مرگ خانم مک‌گینتی: رمان هرکول پوآرو (معماهای هرکول پوآرو)

In this classic Hercule Poirot mystery from the Queen of Crime, a kindly widow is bludgeoned to death. Is her lodger guilty? Or is he being framed? Either way, the condemned man's time is running out. "The plot is perfect and the characters are wonderful." (San Francisco Chronicle)Well, it's no wonder. The plot--suspicion for an elderly woman's murder falls on her mysterious lodger--is from Agatha Christie. The wonderful character happens to be the world's most famous sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Poirot, disillusioned by the "senseless cruel brutality" of modern crime, pays no attention to the sad case of Mrs McGinty, an old woman apparently struck dead by her lodger for thirty pounds that she kept under a floorboard. When, however, he is asked by the investigating officer to take another look at the case to stop an innocent man going to the gallows, he realises that things may not be as simple as they first appear to be. Mrs McGinty died from a brutal blow to the back of her head. Suspicion fell immediately on her shifty lodger, James Bentley, whose clothes revealed traces of the victim's blood and hair. Yet something was amiss: Bentley just didn't look like a murderer. The redoubtable detective Hercule Poirot believed he could save the man from the gallows -- what he didn't realise was that his own life was now in great danger
