A dying Secret Service agent alerts Poirot and Hastings to a group known as 'The Big Four'.  In France on the trail of a missing British scientist the duo are warned to leave well alone but as each member of The Big Four is releaved it takes Poirot deeper into the mystery.  When Hastings receives a telegram telling him his wife has been kidnapped things start to move rapidly to their conclusion.

Some have said that this is one of Christie's more unlikely stories - do you agree?  Did she stray into territory that she was just not familiar enough with?  And, did Achille Poirot really exist?
