The Secret of Chimneys (AmazonClassics Edition)

In Agatha Christie's The Secret of Chimneys, down-and-out drifter Anthony Cade takes on two seemingly simple tasks: delivering an unpublished memoir to a publisher and returning letters to a woman. However, these errands draw him into a web of international intrigue involving Scotland Yard, the French Sûreté, and a royal heir. Set against the backdrop of the historic Chimneys estate, the story unfolds with clandestine societies, ciphers, and murder, challenging Cade to unravel a complex puzzle that marks the debut of the astute investigator, Superintendent Battle. This revised edition showcases Christie's signature blend of mystery and adventure, first published in 1925.
