Sommerzeit ist Krimizeit, schließlich erhitzen sich mit steigenden Temperaturen auch die Gemüter und führen mitunter auf mörderische Pfade. Ob in Cornwall oder an der französischen Riviera, in der Nähe griechischer Tempelanlagen oder in den Gärten englischer Landhäuser – während die Sonne allerorten vom Himmel strahlt, lösen Agatha Christies beliebteste Ermittler in diesen sommerlichen Kurzkrimis manch dunkles Rätsel.

This, the first of Fleming's tales of agent 007, finds Bond on a mission to neutralize a lethal, high-rolling Russian operative called simply 'Le Chiffre' - by ruining him at the baccarat table and forcing his Soviet spy masters to 'retire' him. It seems that lady luck is taken with James - Le Chiffre has hit a losing streak. But some people just refuse to play by the rules, and Bond's attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster and an unexpected savior.

A collection of 12 cases including the curious disappearance of Lord Listerdale, a strange encounter on a train, a domestic murder investigation, an astonishing marriage proposal and a necklace hidden in a basket of cherries.
