Description
Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.
With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark hed overheard back in Jerusalem: You see, dont you, that shes got to be killed? Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman hed ever met. . . .
