The Porcelain Mask Killer | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Описание: Step into the glittering world of a London auction house where beauty and death collide in this mesmerizing Hercule Poirot-style mystery. When the famous Belgian detective attends an exclusive Christie's auction, he witnesses the impossible: Lord Ashworth dies of suffocation in a crowded room while a priceless 17th-century Japanese demon mask—valued at forty thousand pounds—is shattered into a hundred pieces from above.

The legendary Hannya mask, said to carry a curse bringing death to all who possess it, has claimed another victim. But Poirot doesn't believe in curses—he believes in human nature and cold-blooded murder. As he investigates, he uncovers a chilling connection to an unsolved killing from thirty years past: the murder of Lydia Chen, Lord Ashworth's fiancée, who was suffocated with the very same mask on Christmas Eve, 1908.

The trail leads Poirot to the windswept cliffs of Ashworth Hall in Northumberland, where secrets buried for three decades begin to surface. A Russian count who loved Lydia and fled with the mask. A ruthless American collector. An elegant widow with hidden motives. A mysterious secretary who glimpsed the killer in the darkness. As Poirot pieces together the puzzle, he realizes the mask was more than a cursed artifact—it was a hiding place for a devastating family secret worth killing to protect.
