The world's cleverest crime author is brought
to book in this new series of graphic
adaptations of some of her
most famous crimes. Can
Poirot solve the
Murder in
mesopotamia?
An expedition
to excavate the
ruins of an ancient city
is halted by a grisly murder.
Mrs Leidner, wife of the famous
archaeologist, had been warning
about death threats, but everyone knows
how the heat plays tricks on the mind. Now,
on the edge of the beautiful River Tigris, the
open desert becomes the claustrophobic setting for
an exotic investigation...
Murder in Mesopotamia was written by Agatha Christie in 1934
while accompanying her archaeologist husband on one of his
expeditions to Iraq. It was the first Hercule Poirot book
set in the Middle East, and is the first to be faithfully
adapted into an atmospheric comic strip by the
young French artist, Chandre.
