Rate this book
Científicos nucleares, intriga internacional y un toque de romance. Agatha Christie lleva a sus lectores a un fascinante viaje lejos de las casas de campo y los acogedores asesinatos de Inglaterra.

Un eminente científico británico, Thomas Betterton, desaparece misteriosamente después de un congreso celebrado en París. Al parecer, no se trata de un caso aislado, sino de la continuación de una serie de episodios parecidos que han sucedido reiteradamente en los últimos tiempos. Siempre se trata de hombres de ciencia que desaparecen sin ningún rastro de violencia y van a parar voluntariamente al otro lado del famoso Telón de Acero. Hilary Craven, por su parte, ha perdido toda ilusión por vivir. Cuando conoce al agente Jessop, empeñado en descubrir el destino de un científico desaparecido, se verá envuelta en una peligrosa expedición al norte de África, con el objetivo de encontrar al científico y descubrir el motivo de su desaparición.

No es el típico libro de Agatha, este es un libro de espías que ocurre en el momento más crudo de la guerra fría. Es una historia muy imaginativa que te atrapa desde el comienzo y te hace vivir las emociones de la protagonista.
Pocos libros me han enganchado tanto como este, hacia el final del libro pierde un poco de fuerza, pero es una joya distinta de la autora.
