Synopsis
Historical fact and tantalizing fiction merge in this unique interwar thriller about Agatha Christie&’s mysterious disappearance in 1926. When Agatha Christie disappeared for eleven days in December, 1926, all of England was abuzz with speculation. Did the great writer really just &“black out,&” only to somehow reappear days later at a spa hotel? Could she be a pawn trapped in an international mystery? Or was she the puppet-master? The adventure unfolds through the perspective of Christie&’s trusted governess, Charlotte &“Carlo&” Fisher. After receiving a mysterious letter, Charlotte embarks on a harrowing quest, aided by many of the famous and elite of the twentieth century. While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his protégé, Ian Fleming, speed towards Istanbul on the Orient Express in search of Agatha&’s diary, Charlotte discovers clues that dispatch her to Berlin where she stumbles into a world gone mad. With a dizzying cast of characters that includes Dorothy Parker, Pablo Picasso, Lillian Hellman, J.R.R. Tolkien, and many others, this historical adventure delves into the shadows of mysterious societies, where it appears something dark is rising . . .
