The Man in the Brown Suit

The Man in the Brown Suit Agatha Christie — Pretty, young Anne came to London looking for adventure. In fact, adventure comes looking for her—and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station. Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electrocuted on the rails.

The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied. After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: “17–122 Kilmorden Castle”?

Mystery? Intrigue? Romance? The Man in the Brown Suit has it all. It's a thrilling adventure featuring young heroine, Anne Beddingfield. Anne witnesses a mysterious death in London and throws herself head-first into the investigation, travelling to South Africa. While following Anne's quest for the truth, we meet several interesting personalities, from a well-meaning socialite to a mysterious dancer, to the bright former spy, Colonel Race, who will reappear in later novels by Christie.

    Two of us worked it—under the ‘Colonel’s’ orders, of course. And it was then that I saw my chance. You see, the plan was to substitute some of the De Beer diamonds for some sample diamonds brought from South America by two young prospectors who happened to be in Kimberley at the time. Suspicion was then bound to fall on them.”

    “I shall be away only one night. And I go incognito, like Royalty. No one will ever know that I have left France. And why do you think that I go?”

    “Hardly for pleasure at this time of the year. January, a detestable foggy month! It must be for profit, eh?”

    “Exactly.” She rose and stood in front of him, every graceful line of her arrogant with pride. “You said just now that none of us had anything on the chief. You were wrong. I have. I, a woman, have had the wit and, yes, the courage—for it needs courage—to double-cross him.
