Murder in Mesopotamia

The world's cleverest crime author is brought to book in this new series of graphic adaptations of some of her most famous crimes. Can Poirot solve the Murder in mesopotamia?

An expedition to excavate the ruins of an ancient city is halted by a grisly murder. Mrs Leidner, wife of the famous archaeologist, had been warning about death threats, but everyone knows how the heat plays tricks on the mind. Now, on the edge of the beautiful River Tigris, the open desert becomes the claustrophobic setting for an exotic investigation...

Murder in Mesopotamia was written by Agatha Christie in 1934 while accompanying her archaeologist husband on one of his expeditions to Iraq. It was the first Hercule Poirot book set in the Middle East, and is the first to be faithfully adapted into an atmospheric comic strip by the young French artist, Chandre.
