Agatha Christie Blog Tour 2010 - Day 4

Today's tour stop
Read THE CAPTURE OF CERBERUS on line



Hercule Poirot sipped his apéritif and looked out across the Lake of Geneva. He sighed. He had spent his morning talking to certain diplomatic personages, all in a state of high agitation, and he was tired. For he had been unable to offer them any comfort in their difficulties.
The world was in a very disturbed state - every nation alert and tense. At any minute the blow might fall - and Europe once more be plunged into war.


Hercule Poirot sighed. He remembered 1914 only too well. He had no illusions about war. It settled nothing. The peace it brought in its wake was usually only the peace of exhaustion - not a constructive peace.
