Agatha Christie – Curtain – First UK Edition 1975
£95.00
A first edition, first printing of Curtain – Poirot’s Last Case by Agatha Christie, published by Collins in 1975. A near fine book in publisher’s original black cloth bound boards with gilt titling to the spine, free from internal inscriptions, with slight pushing to the head of the spine, some browning and spotting to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with some pushing to the spine tips and corners, with closed tear to top edge of front panel, some rubbing to the hinge of front flap fold.
Curtain by Agatha Christie is the final Hercule Poirot novel, set at Styles Court, the site of his first case. An elderly Poirot reunites with his friend Captain Hastings to investigate a series of murders orchestrated by an elusive killer. As Poirot’s health declines, he uses his brilliant mind to solve the case, leading to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion. Christie’s masterful plotting and character development make this a poignant and fitting end to Poirot’s illustrious career.
