The world's cleverest crime author is brought

to book in this new series of graphic

adaptations of some of her

most famous crimes. Can

Poirot solve the

Murder in

mesopotamia?

An expedition

to excavate the

ruins of an ancient city

is halted by a grisly murder.

Mrs Leidner, wife of the famous

archaeologist, had been warning

about death threats, but everyone knows

how the heat plays tricks on the mind. Now,

on the edge of the beautiful River Tigris, the

open desert becomes the claustrophobic setting for

an exotic investigation...

Murder in Mesopotamia was written by Agatha Christie in 1934

while accompanying her archaeologist husband on one of his

expeditions to Iraq. It was the first Hercule Poirot book

set in the Middle East, and is the first to be faithfully

adapted into an atmospheric comic strip by the

young French artist, Chandre.
