Agatha Christie named these her favorite of all her stories. The elusive Mr. Harley Quin appears wherever an old tale has been left unfinished — a house party, a wayside inn, a death everyone has agreed to forget — and says almost nothing, while his devoted friend Mr. Satterthwaite does the talking and, guided by Quin's presence, sees the truth at last. The detection is slight; the atmosphere is haunting. This edition presents the complete and unabridged collection, newly typeset and illustrated with 44 full-page color plates.
