When the train stops, the jewel is missing, and the woman is found dead in her compartment. It's the perfect mystery, filled with passion, greed, deceit, and confusion. Is Hercule Poirot is the perfect detective to solve it? Death in the Air: From seat No.9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No.13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp. What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No.2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman. What Mrs. McGillicuddy saw!: She was the only witness to a murder! Standing with his back to her was a man. His hands were around a woman's throat. He was slowly, relentlessly strangling her. As Mrs. McGillicuddy watched, fascinated, the end came. The body went limp and crumpled in the man's hands. Nobody believed Mrs. McGillicuddy... because there was no corpse! Nobody, that is, except an old lady named Jane Marple, who figured out where the body was hidden--and then showed Scotland Yard how to trap the killer!
