About this book
Tommy and Tuppence, two adventurous twenty-somethings back in post‑war London, answer an enigmatic advertisement and set out in search of money, excitement and something far more dangerous. When their flirtatious banter runs up against coded messages, shadowy operatives and a nameless antagonist known only as the “secret adversary,” the pair find themselves pulled into a fast‑moving web of espionage and deception. Christie's sprightly early thriller pairs quick wit and warm chemistry with surprising twists, delivering a propulsive, character‑driven mystery that’s as much about partnership and courage as it is about uncovering a perilous secret.
