One of the four short stories Agatha Christie with Hercule Poirot in the lead role, which was published in the file called man in fog and translated by Jan Zábrana. Continuation of our edition called voilà- Hercule Poirot .

Hercule Poirot was called to one of the oldest aristocratic settlements in the English countryside millionaire Hubert Lytcham Roch to investigate suspicion of embezzlement. The Lord of the House Roche is the last heir to the genus and his whims are often unbearable: absolute silence while listening to music and dinner announced for a minute exactly by gong. Therefore, it is a mystery when dinner is delayed and with a different announcement than usual. The story offers a rapid gradient, action and traditional narrative brilliance.
