內容簡介
內容簡介 一個冷血的連續命案殺手正逍遙法外，每次作案結束，他總狂傲地在受害者身旁留下他的名片－－一本照英文字母順序排列的英國火車時刻表。若說第一名受害者阿雪爾（Ascher）被棍棒擊死於安多弗（Andover），第二名受害者巴納德（Bernnard）被自己的皮帶勒死於貝斯希爾（Bexhill）的海濱，那麼請你猜猜，那即將遇害的準受害者C是姓誰名啥，又將殞身何處？狂傲的兇手大膽指明挑戰白羅，請看白羅如何應戰！John Malkovich stars as Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie’s ingenious serial-killer thriller, newly adapted for BBC Television in 2018 by the award-winning team behind And Then There Were None, Witness for the Prosecution and Ordeal by Innocence.‘Let us see, Mr Clever Poirot, just how clever you can be.’Murder is a very simple crime. But at the hands of a maniac, a serial killer, it becomes a very complicated business.The 1930s is a time when the nation is dangerously divided and suspicion and hatred are on the rise. In the midst of this, Poirot faces a serial killer known only as A.B.C. First the killer strikes in Andover, then Bexhill. As the murder count rises, the only clue is the copy of The ABC Railway Guide at each crime scene. Poirot’s investigations are thwarted at every turn by an enemy determined to outsmart him. If Poirot is to match his nemesis then everything about him will be called into question: his authority, his integrity, his past, his identity.This new tie-in edition coincides with the new BBC production adapted for television by Sarah Phelps, with an all-star cast including John Malkovich, Rupert Grint, Tara Fitzgerald, Andrew Buchan, Shirley Henderson, Kevin McNally, Gregor Fisher and Jack Farthing.
