Taken at the Flood (Hercule Poirot Mysteries, 27)

In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, the indefatigable Hercule Poiroit investigates the troubling case of a twice-widowed woman. A few weeks after marrying an attractive widow, Gordon Cloade is tragically killed by a bomb blast in the London blitz. Overnight, the former Mrs. Underhay finds herself in sole possession of the Cloade family fortune. Shortly afterward, Hercule Poirot receives a visit from the dead mans sister-in-law who claims she has been warned by spirits that Mrs. Underhays first husband is still alive. Poirot has his suspicions when he is asked to find a missing person guided only by the spirit world. Yet what mystifies Poirot most is the womans true motive for approaching him.
