En pleno desierto iraquí, en un campamento arqueológico situado junto al yacimiento de Tell Yarimjah, Mrs. Leidner da signos de una creciente manía persecutoria que le pro-voca aterradoras alucinaciones. Aunque nadie da mayor importancia a sus temores, ya que cree que pretenden asesinarla, su marido -el director de la excavacion- contrata a una experta enfermera para que cuide de ella. El Dr. Leidner y su equipo solo compren-den la gravedad del asunto cuando la mujer aparece muerta en su lecho con una horrible herida en la cabeza. En este nuevo caso de Agatha Christie, el detective Hercules Poirot se enfrentara a mis-terios que parecen ir mas alla de sus posibilidades. La autora britanica mezcla en esta ocasion lo razonable con lo sobrenatural para conducir al lector a un laberinto de sospe-chas, indicios y pistas que alejaran progresivamente la resolucion del crimen. Poirot, que contara con la inestimable ayuda de la enfermera Leatheran, debera aplicar con esmero sus particulares metodos de indagacion para dar finalmente con el asesino.
At an apparently respectable dinner party, a vicar is the first to die...Thirteen guests arrived at dinner at the actor's house. It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died. But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison -- just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive!

But a mysterious visitor, Mr Gilbrandsen, is less fortunate -- shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building. Pure coincidence?
