书籍简介

波洛在退休前给自己提出了一个挑战--解决12个与他的古典希腊名字相符的案件...。

从外表上看，赫尔克里-波洛与古希腊英雄并不相似。然而--侦探认为--像赫拉克勒斯一样，他曾负责将社会上一些令人不快的怪物赶走。

因此，在他退休前的这段时间里，波洛下定决心再接12个案子：他自定的 "任务"。每个案件都将作为推理的英雄壮举载入犯罪史册。

Poirot sets himself a challenge before he retires - to solve 12 cases which correspond with the labours of his classical Greek namesake...

In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet - reasoned the detective - like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters.

So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed 'Labours'. Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
