[edit] Stories

• The title story is a novella, in which Poirot and Inspector Japp collaborate in investigating a suspicious suicide discovered the morning after Guy Fawkes Night.
• The Incredible Theft deals with the disappearance of top-secret military papers.
• Dead Man's Mirror is a classic locked room mystery featuring a wealthy retired man who apparently commits suicide.
• Triangle at Rhodes takes Poirot on an island holiday during which a guest is murdered. The story is very similar to another of Christie's novels, Evil Under the Sun, which includes a complicated love triangle relationship.
