Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer.
درست بعد از نیمه شب، یک برف سنگین، قطار Orient Express را در مسیر خود متوقف میکند. قطار مجلل برای این زمان از سال به طرز شگفتانگیزی پر است ، اما تا صبح یک مسافر کمتر دارد. یک سرمایهدار بزرگ آمریکایی در محفظه خود مرده است ، دوازده ضربه چاقو خورده و درش از داخل قفل شده است.
قطار در میان راه مقصد منزوی و با قاتلی در میان خود، کارآگاه هرکول پوآرو باید قاتل را شناسایی کند.
Some attractive parts of the book:
_The impossible could not have happened. Therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
_There are more important things than finding the murderer. And justice is a find word, but it is sometimes difficult to say exactly what one means by it. In my opinion, the important thing is to clear innocent. –Hercule Poirot
_Mon Ami, if you wish to catch a rabbit you put a ferret into the hole, and if the rabbit is there he runs. That is all I have done. –Hercule Poirot
