Poirot And The Regatta Mystery

AGATHA CHRISTIE

Publication: Vallancey Press Limited, nd 1946, London

First separate edition. 5" x 7" pictorial stiff wrappers. Several of Christie’s short stories were published separately in the 1940s and all are extremely desirable and very scarce. This copy is slightly dusty and a bit rubbed on the spine, but otherwise a fine fresh copy and rare in this condition. A World War II publication. In this story a diamond merchant and his party step off their yacht to enjoy the festivities at shore. But when the youngest member of the party, Eve Leathern, decides to play a trick with a £30,000 diamond named The Morning Star, the fun suddenly escalates into a dramatic jewel theft. The most suspected member of the party begs Hercule Poirot to solve the disappearance of the valuable gem, pleading that he is not the thief. But if he isn’t, who is?
