Towards Zero & Ordeal by Innocence (Abridged)

Two of Agatha Christies¿ favorite novels now brought together just for you.

Towards Zero

What is the connection among a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player?

To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at Gull¿s Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. As Superintendent Battle discovers, it is all part of a carefully laid plan-for murder.

Ordeal By Innocence

According to the courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence was life imprisonment. But when Dr. Arthur Calgary arrives with the proof that confirms Jacko¿s innocence, it is too late-Jacko died behind bars following a bout of pneumonia. Worse still, the doctor¿s revelations reopen old wounds in the family, increasing the likelihood that the real murderer will strike again.
