Product Description

Synopsis
A middle-aged diplomat is accosted in an airport lounge and his identity stolen...Sir Stafford Nye's journey home from Malaya to London takes an unexpected twist in the passnger loungs at Frankfurt -- a young woman confides in him that someone is trying to kill her. Yet their paths are to cross again and again -- and each time the mystery woman is introduced as a different person. Equally at home in any guise in any society she draws Sir Stafford into a game of political intrigue more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. In an arena where no-one can be sure of anyone, Nye must do battle with a well-armed, well-financed, well-trained -- and invisble -- enemy!

About the Author
Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She has sold over 2 billion novels worldwide and has been translated into more languages than any other single writer.

Born on 15 September 1890 in Devon, England, her career spanned six decades in which time she published 80 novels and short story collections and 19 plays. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles published in 1920, was written as a result of a challenge from her sister. In it she would introduce to the world Hercule Poirot, one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. Poirot would appear in over 80 novels and short stories. Nine years later Agatha created Miss Marple - a spinster sleuth who would become so popular she would rival Poirot in the nation's affections.

Her writing won her many fans including the royal family. When Queen Mary was approaching her 80th birthday, the BBC asked how she would want them to celebrate it. She requested a new Christie play! Three Blind Mice was duly written for the radio; it would later be adapted into The Mousetrap and become the longest continuously running play in history.

Although best known for her detective fiction, Christie also wrote a number of books that give us insight into her world. Her autobiography, published the year after her death provides a full, and often humorous, account of her life and Come, Tell Me How You Live chronicles her travels as the wife of a world famous archaeologist, on digs in the Middle East.

Agatha Christie had a truly remarkable life; she was a very private lady though her love of travel and archaeology shines through in her work. Her most famous novel Murder on the Orient Express celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2009 and was inspired by her own travels on the train, when she too became stranded due to weather.

After a hugely successful career and a very happy life Agatha died peacefully on 12 January 1976.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a mess, 15 Nov 2007
By AL Silver (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Passenger to Frankfort (Library Binding)
Most of the other reviewers have it right - this book is a disaster. I'd have given it no stars, but I wasn't given the choice. One reviewer admires Christie for tryng something new. It's a good thing she didn't write this book first because she'd have never gotten it published. It's awful in every way; plot development, character development, prose style. I especially hated Christie's constant harangue as she bangs away at some notion of fascists taking over the world through the youth of the planet, a plot financed by the monied industrial types, and what that evil portends for the future of the world, mankind, womankind, and anyone else who happens to walk onto the stage. What's worse? She says it over and over and over and....You want good Christie? Read "Hercule Poirot's Christmas!"

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 29 Dec 2003
Of the 80 or so books that Agatha Christie wrote, this is probably her poorest effort. Her murder mysteries are all superb, but when it comes to writing tales of international intrigue, she wasn't really in her element.
The plot sounds interesting enough at first sight but the book never really gets going, the storyline is fairly boring and I was relieved when I finally reached the end.
Not one of her best!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, 31 Jul 2008
By R. Lowther - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was one of Agatha Christie's final books. It is also one of her poorest. A poor story, characters that don't come to life and an ending that lacks any closure. It is one to avoid if you don't want to think of Christie as anything but an author that gave the word such enjoyment with Miss Marple and Hercule Poiret, rather than with this disappointing spy thriller...without thrills.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bright idea, poorly executed
Okay. We all know this was one of the last few novels that Christie wrote, and that she was eighty when she did it, but the problems don't so much lie with an ageing author's... Read more

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again but I think you can generally separate out Agatha Christie's novels into two very broad categories. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't say this was the best of Agatha Christie.
This book was a bit difficult to follow, because a lot of the info was left out. It jumped from here to there. Read more

First, I really would like to have a good laugh. Before writing this review, I had already guessed the previous reviews might very likely, rated this book the worst. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Rock-bottom Agatha Christie
One of Christie's few complete disasters. The plot is a muddled spy story presented with near-desperate sincerity but little coherence or believability. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Truly dissapointing
I was very disappointed by this book. I am a great fan of Christie's writing (I named my cat Jane Marple) and I could not be more ready to enjoy something that she wrote. Read more
