"Un soir, dans sa propriété de Fernly Park, l'industriel Roger Ackroyd se confie à son ami le Dr Sheppard. La veuve qu'il envisageait d'épouser s'est suicidée pour échapper à un chantage. Dans une ultime lettre, elle lui révèle le nom de celui qui détient un terrible secret : un an plus tôt, elle a assassiné son mari.

"The peaceful English village of King's Abbot is stunned. First, the attractive widow Ferrars dies from an overdose of veronal. Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd--the man she had planned to marry--is murdered. It is a baffling, complex case involving blackmail, suicide, and violent death, a cast that taxes Hercule Poirot's "little grey cells" before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his fabled career." -- goodreads.com |
