Agatha Christie's most daring crime mystery - an early and particularly brilliant outing of Hercule Poirot, `The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', with its legendary twist, changed the detective fiction genre for ever.

Dans ces quatre nouvelles d'Agatha Christie, l'auteur d'histoires criminelles abominables, on découvre qu'elle était également une fine analyste de la nature humaine : les désillusions amères et les blessures du coeur, celui d'une femme déchirée entre l'amour et le devoir, ou celui d'un homme sans espoir de retrouver celle qui l'avait aimé autrefois...
Passent l'ombre d'une sorcière terrifiante, l'éclat d'un collier de rubis, le bruit sourd d'un coup de revolver, la blancheur d'une étole d'hermine...
