Description
"From her tousled appearance to her perplexed stare, there was much about the young girl that struck Hercule Poirot as peculiar. But it was her vague confession to a possible murder she's not even sure she's committed that really threw the brainy Belgian detective for a loop. And now she's missing! Where might she be? No one knows--and no one seems to care."--p. [4] cover.
