The Man in the Brown Suit

An orphaned young woman, Anne Beddingfeld has come to London looking for adventure, but adventure finds her when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance on the platform at Hyde Park Corner tube station and is electrocuted on the rails. Scotland Yard's verdict is accidental death, but Anne does not agree. Who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body before racing off? And what is the meaning of "17122 Kilmorden Castle," found on a scrap of paper at the scene? Determined to find answers, Anne boards a ship for South Africa, and sails into deadly danger. First published in 1924, this stand-alone thriller was inspired by Agatha Christie's own South African voyage. The book is part of a series that presents Christie's gripping mysteries as full-color graphic novels, adapted and illustrated by talented visual storytellers from France and Belgium.
