A scientist creates a monster from a few body parts and buckets of blood, but his experiment takes a horrific turn and leads to tragedy.

It is early May: the year 1940. In London, the civil population, lulled into an atmosphere of false security, goes about its business as usual. But Charles Forman, war correspondent, knows better. As the war in France takes a turn for the worse, he signs on with the Merchant Navy and volunteers for the greatest mission ever mounted... the evacuation of Dunkirk.

After a daring escape, a prisoner goes into hiding. While waiting for safe passage with his sister, she uncovers his murderous bloodlust.

Agatha Christie, the grand dame of the mystery novel, weaves an twisting tale of terror that can only by unraveled by gray-haired intrepid amateur sleuth Miss Marple.
