The Black Orchid Killer | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Описание: The Black Orchid Killer | A Hercule Poirot Mystery | The Little Grey Cells
Welcome to The Little Grey Cells! 🌺🔍

A single black orchid—the rarest flower in the world—becomes the calling card of a killer who announces each victim with this dark bloom placed upon their chest.

When Hercule Poirot receives a mysterious package containing a perfect black orchid and a chilling message—"The first has fallen. More will follow"—he knows he's being challenged by a murderer who wants to play a deadly game. Within hours, a young woman's body is discovered in Regent's Park, strangled, with an identical orchid resting between her folded hands.

Eleanor Blackwood was wealthy, beautiful, and devoted to charitable work. Catherine Hartwell was a dedicated nurse at a charity hospital. Both were members of the exclusive White Rose Society, and both died at the hands of a killer who stages their deaths like theatrical performances.
As Poirot investigates, he enters the shadowy world of rare botanical collectors, where exotic flowers are worth millions and obsession can turn deadly. The trail leads to the London Botanical Society, to private greenhouses filled with specimens that exist nowhere else on Earth, and to a disgraced scientist named Dr. Victor Crane—a man whose brilliant mind shattered when his wife died, a man who believes the black orchid holds mystical powers over life and death.
But the deeper Poirot digs, the more complex the case becomes. A twenty-year-old cover-up. A servant girl's suspicious death. A secret society bound by guilt. And a manipulator who uses another man's grief as a weapon while keeping his own hands spotlessly clean.
Who is the Black Orchid Killer? What terrible secret connects all the victims? And can even Hercule Poirot stop a murderer driven by decades of obsession before more innocents die?
