Poirot's Early Cases

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poirot's Early Cases is a short story collection published by Agatha Christie in 1974, two years before her death.

In it, Christie charts some of the cases from Hercule Poirot's early career, before he was internationally renowned as a detective. All the stories had been published in periodicals between 1923 and 1936. Several stories from this collection have been adapted for television in the series Agatha Christie's Poirot.

"The Submarine Plans" had been expanded and published as "The Incredible Theft" in the collection entitled Murder in the Mews. The 1974 version reverts to the original 1923 text.
