The Unknown

Agatha Christie Library

The inspiration for the Netflix original series starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, and Martin Freeman!A practical joke goes chillingly, murderously wrong in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie’s classic detective story, Seven Dials.Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper, so the other houseguests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6:30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank then backfired, with tragic consequences.For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words "Seven Dials" were to take on a new and chilling significance. . . .

The Official Authorized Edition

Seven Dials [TV Tie-in]

Boats, beaches, magic, mysteries and more abound in this sun-drenched collection of summer stories. Two strangers embark on a feverish, dreamlike encounter abroad in Algernon Blackwood's 'The Olive'. A man impulsively meets his first love in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Between Two Planes'. Willa Cather writes of sunset island explorations, and Virginia Woolf depicts the all-too-familiar drowsy garden nap. Yet summer idylls can be shattered: there's a deadly fishing quarrel from Guy de Maupassant, a touch of malevolent fairy magic from Selma Lagerlöf and, of course, Sherlock Holmes finds himself under pressure to solve an unsettling murder on the Cornish coast. From light humour to deep nostalgia, Italian resorts to rural Russia, each of these tales will transport you somewhere new. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, these pocket-sized editions are perfect for travel. This edition is compiled and introduced by anthologist Becky Brown.

'Wow, wow, wow! This book is thrilling from start to finish, constantly evolving and twisting and so brilliantly written' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿'Another excellent Gamache novel from Louise Penny ... timely, topical and prescient' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿'Penny's writing is as literary and elegant as ever, and as usual this book packs the punch of a heart-stopping thriller' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿'6 stars if I could. To say I adore this series, is an understatement. With that, comes the excitement of a new book but also the worry of will it live up to the previous books?

But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning: In a dry and parched land where there is no water.Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government. And from the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.'A wonderful, multi-layered novel: all the established characters are there for lovers of Three Pines, but it's also a political thriller, an exploration of friendship and betrayal, and a celebration of kindness' ANN CLEEVES 'It's not difficult to see why Penny and her fans have come to regard Three Pines as a refuge in a chaotic and alarming world' SUNDAY TIMES
