I want the world's greatest detective on hand to uncover the truth."The weekend gathering begins with wonder and unease.

Yet somehow, a killer entered, murdered, and escaped without a trace.As Poirot investigates, he uncovers a web of secrets hiding behind respectable facades: a passionate affair threatening to destroy a marriage, blackmail schemes exploiting hidden shame, gambling debts driving desperate measures, and hidden passages threading through the house like a second, shadow architecture.In a house of mirrors, everyone has something to hide. The jealous husband who followed his wife into the impossible space. The secret lover who arranged midnight meetings. The academic whose research revealed more than he ever published. And the creator himself, who built something that frightened even him.Can Poirot trust what his eyes tell him when every surface reflects, distorts, and multiplies reality?
