Cards on the table - Agatha Christie
KORTE INHOUD
Mr Shaitana is a collector. He collects snuff boxes, Egyptian antiquities … and … murderers.
His murderers are of the very finest. Not the second rate individuals who are caught and convicted. Delighting in his role as a modern Mephistopheles, Shaitana gathers his four murderers for an evening of cards.
Before the evening ends, Mr Shaitana will himself be a murder victim. How very fortunate that he invited a fifth guest to his gathering, M. Hercule Poirot.
