When spirited young Anne Beddingfeld witnesses a stranger's fall and catches a glimpse of a man in a brown suit, a casual act of curiosity spirals into a dangerous pursuit. What begins as a hunt for clues soon hooks her into a tangle of murder, stolen jewels, and secret identities that lead from London's foggy streets to the sun-baked landscapes of South Africa, where every ally may be an enemy. With Christie's trademark pacing, a witty heroine, and unexpected twists, this early mystery is equal parts thriller, romance, and globe-trotting caper—perfect for readers who love smart sleuthing and high-stakes adventure.
