A DARING ADVENTURE FROM THE QUEEN OF CRIME MYSTERY BOOKS

What happens when two broke young friends decide to sell their services as adventurers-for-hire? In this thrilling early masterpiece from Agatha Christie, a chance encounter pulls Tommy and Tuppence into a dangerous game of international espionage.

Dive into a world of high-stakes intrigue where:

A mysterious girl vanishes with documents that could topple the British government
Shadowy conspirators will kill to protect their secrets
Amateur sleuths must outwit professional criminals at their own game
The elusive "Mr. Brown" orchestrates a plot that threatens national security
Unlike Poirot or Marple, Tommy and Tuppence charge headlong into danger with wit, charm, and unshakable loyalty. As they navigate a labyrinth of deception, they'll discover that in post-war London, nothing—and no one—is quite what it seems.

Experience the clever plotting and unexpected twists that made Agatha Christie the world's bestselling mystery author. "The Secret Adversary" offers a perfect blend of suspense, romance, and detection that will keep you guessing until the final page.
