Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: "You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met.

Fine in Fine dust jacket. Black boards and spine with title and author imprinted in silver. Gray endpapers. 255 pages. A Hercule Poirot Mystery, No. 19. You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed? "Ominous words for Hercule Poirot to overhear on his first night of vacation in the Holy Land. They come true when a tourist is murdered in full view of her fellow sightseers. And not surprising. The "horror of a woman" was loathed not only by her own children, but by every stranger who crossed her path. Who wanted to do the harridan in? Who didn't? At the Solomon Hotel, sympathy is with the killer. But Poirot has a job to do--and with this many suspects, and this many motives, deduction will take a miracle.
