By Agatha Christie STORY: Accomplished physicist Sir Claud Amory has constructed a workable formula for one of the most deadly weapons known to man - the atom bomb. Hercule Poirot, with the help of Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp, is called in after the formula is mysteriously stolen and Sir Claud is callously murdered. A superbly crafted whodonit with endless red herrings, subplots of infamous spies and an astonishing prophetic storyline about weapons created through 'bombarding the atom'.
