The crime-fighting careers of Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings have come full circle -they are back once again in the rambling country house where they solved their first murder together. Both Poirot and Styles Court have seen better days-but despite being crippled with arthritis, there is nothing wrong with the great detective's 'little grey cells'. However, when Poirot brands one of the seemingly harmless guests a five-times murderer, some people have their doubts. But Poirot alone knows he must prevent a sixth murder before the curtain falls.

"Traces Picasso's life and work from his childhood to his last drawings, and suggests that Picasso was a 'vertical invader' from Europe's feudal past, a 'primitive' man who burst upon a complex civilization and conquered it. Also analyzes the price Picasso paid for that conquest: in exile, isolation, and loneliness. Shows how the phenomenon of Picasso's success was connected less with his art than with the nostalgic nineteenth-century idea of genius that he evoked in others" --back cover
