Cards on the table - Agatha Christie

A new tie-in edition of Agatha Christie's bestseller, to coincide with the broadcast of the new movie on ITV1 starring David Suchet. Includes a full colour plate section and exclusive cast interviews.

Mr Shaitana was famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he was a man of whom everybody was a little afraid. So, when he boasted to Poirot that he considered murder an art form, the detective had some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's private collection.

Indeed, what began as an absorbing evening of bridge was to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.
