Near the end of the First World War, Hercule Poirot is alerted to an assassination attempt on the English Prime Minister. Very shortly thereafter, Poirot receives news of the Prime Minister's kidnapping, and is subsequently enlisted to help find the missing head of state.
Across the English countryside and into northern France, Poirot must work quickly to locate his quarry. It's not just his life that depends on it, but the fate of the world, too.
