About the book
Hercule Poirot is determined to solve an old husband and wife double murder that is still an open verdict
Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff.
This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies a husband and wife shot dead.
But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder?
Poirot delves back into a crime committed 15 years earlier and discovers that, when there is a distinct lack of physical evidence, its just as well that old sins leave long shadows
