A newly-jacketed edition published to coincide with the 50th anniversary year of the longest-running play in history. THE MOUSETRAP, the longest-running play in the history of London's West End, begins its 50th Year run on 25 November 2001. This new edition of four works show how Agatha Christie's plays are as compulsive as her novels, their colourful characters and ingenious plots providing yet more evidence of her mastery of the detective thriller. The Mousetrap A homicidal maniac terrorizes a group of snowbound guests to the refrain of 'Three Blind Mice'! And Then There Were None Ten guilty people, brought together on an island in mysterious circumstances, await their sentence! Appointment With Death The suffocating heat of an exotic Middle-Eastern setting provides a backdrop for murder! The Hollow A set of friends convene at a country home where their convoluted relationships mean that any one of them could be a murderer!

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
