Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: "You do see, don`t you, that she`s got to be killed?" Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met.
I`ve been summoned. Thursday, ten sharp . Thus begins a day in the life of a young factory worker in totalitarian Romania. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men`s suits bound for Italy. Marry me the notes say, with her name and address. As she rides the tram to her interrogation, she thinks over the events and people of her life under terror. In her distraction, she misses her stop, and alone on an unfamiliar street, Lilli discovers something far worse than anything she had feared.
