Agatha Christie, the acknowledged mistress of suspense and creator of indomitable sleuth Miss Marple, brings her skills into play in Nemesis as Miss Marple receives a letter from a dead man, Mr. Rafiel, who instructs her to investigate a crime, although he is unable to elaborate due to his most mysterious and untimely death. Outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible, we honor Agatha Christie as a literary trailblazer who brought to life so many unforgettable characters, a staggering oeuvre of ingenious whodunits, locked room mysteries, and perplexing puzzles.
