Description

A brand new omnibus featuring Agatha Christie's youngest heroines in three of her most daring novels. THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT Pretty, young Anne Beddingfield came to London looking for adventure.

In fact, adventure comes looking for her -- and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station.

Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electrocuted on the rails. The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied. After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: '17-122 Kilmorden Castle'? THEY CAME TO BAGHDAD Baghdad is the chosen location for a secret superpower summit.

Unfortunately the word is out, and an underground organisation in the Middle East is plotting to sabotage the talks. Into this explosive situation skips Victoria Jones, a girl with a yearning for adventure who gets more than she bargains for when a wounded agent dies in her hotel room.

Now, if only she could make sense of his final words: '!

Lucifer! Basrah! Lefarge!'DESTINATION UNKNOWN When a number of leading scientists disappear without trace, concern grows within the international intelligence community.

Are they being kidnapped? Blackmailed? Brainwashed? The one person who appears to have the key to the mystery now lies in a hospital bed, dying from injuries sustained in a Moroccan plane crash. Meanwhile, in a Casablanca hotel room, young Hilary Craven prepares to take her own life.

But her suicide attempt is about to be interrupted by a man who will offer her an altogether more thrilling way to die!
