Summary
"Childhood friends Thomas Beresford -- known as Tommy -- and Prudence Cowley -- call her Tuppence -- cross paths after the Great War. Desperate for cash, they set themselves up as "two young adventurers for hire" and launch a series of thrilling escapades. In this, Agatha Christie's second published mystery, the sleuthing duo proved so popular that they reappeared throughout their creator's career"-- Provided by publisher.
