Reminder: Please double-check your book before ordering! All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart or Demco archival dustjacket protector, and are ready to place on your book. Due to the scarcity of this dustjacket, I have added an embossed digital watermark to these images to avoid unauthorized duplication. The embossed watermark will NOT appear over the artwork on the front panel. The counter-stamps identifying this as a reproduction WILL appear discretely on the flaps only. About Dustjackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: Here is Agatha Christie's first full-length detective story since "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd," one of the most striking detective stories ever written. The new mystery is equally baffling -- and equally startling and dramatic in its finish. Since the beginning of history, jewels have exercised a baneful spell. Murder and violence have followed in their wake. So with the famous Heart of Fire ruby. It passes into the possession of the beautiful American woman, Ruth Kettering, and doom follows swift upon it. Whose hand was it that struck her down? Were the jewels the motive for the murder, or were they only taken as a blind? What part did the beautiful foreign dancer play? The story tells how these strange happenings affect the life of a quiet English girl who has felt convinced that "Nothing exciting will ever happen to me." She uses very nearly those words to a chance acquaintance on the Blue Train -- a little man with an egg-shaped head, whose answer is curious and unexpected. But even Hercule Poirot, for it is he, does not guess how soon he will be called upon to unravel a complicated and intricate crime when the Blue Train steams into Nice the following morning and it is discovered that murder has been done ... About Author: Agatha Christie [1890-1976] was an immensely popular British mystery writer with 66 detective novels to her credit. Her most famous characters include Miss Marple, who appeared in 12 novels, and Hercule Poirot, who appeared in 33 of her novels.
