Intriguing, and quite different to your average Poirot mystery. Poirot and Japp investigate, but, as we see from the opening scenes, this has fatal consequences for Poirot. It seems determined to undermine the fragile peace and lead the world into war. Suspicion falls on a shadowy, subversive organisation known as The Big 4.

Hercule Poirot and his old friend Japp, now Assistant Commissioner, are reunited at a special function - the Peace Party, lead by millionaire businessman Abe Ryland, are holding a chess match between a Russian grandmaster and Mr Ryland. ![]() It is the late-1930s and the world seems headed for war. ![]()
