內容簡介
Agatha Christie’s exotic seaside mystery thriller, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun… she had been strangled. Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?
喜愛日光浴的阿琳娜·斯圖爾特美麗的棕色身體臉朝下橫陳在海灘上,但是這一次沒有陽光——她被人勒死瞭。阿琳娜一齣現,赫爾剋裏·波洛就在海灘的空氣中嗅到瞭情欲的氣息。但是,這個顯而易見的“激情犯罪”中,也許包含著更多的邪惡和陰謀?赫爾剋裏·波洛探長該如何偵破這一懸案?
