Le crime du golf / Le miroir du mort

by Agatha Christie

Synopsis
Un homme se suicide quelques heures après avoir demandé assistance... Et lui Hercule Poirot, le plus grand détective de tous les temps, n'aurait rien soupçonné ? Impensable, ridicule ! Rien de plus facile que de déjouer les jeux de glaces et voir au-delà du miroir... Trois nouvelles où les petites cellules grises s'en donnent à cœur joie !

M. Renauld, un français, a lancé un SOS impérieux à Hercule Poirot. Mais à Calais, point de limousine pour attendre Poirot et son ami Hastings. Il a été assassiné dans la nuit. On l'a trouvé lardé de coups de couteau, au fond d'une tombe creusée dans un terrain de golf... L'enquête ne sera pas facile. M. Renauld était discret sur son passé en Amérique du Sud. Et les deux femmes qui, aux dire des domestiques, le rencontraient souvent le soir, sont de bien mystérieuses créatures...
