POIRO (without a 't')

Back in the cramped office above "Anna's Market", the world's most confident investigator, Philip Poiro (without a 't'), continues his one-man war against the forces of darkness. International conspiracies do not rest. Foreign agents do not sleep. And the third step still needs fixing. In these three new cases, Poiro faces his most formidable adversaries yet: a late-night card game that conceals a revolution, a missing masterpiece that hides a cultural subversion plot, and a drug trafficking operation that only he, with his superior intellect, his tattered Encyclopaedia, and his complete disregard for danger, can unravel. His methods remain unorthodox. His deductions remain flawless (in his own mind). His bird remains unmoved in its opinions. And his nephew, who asks too many questions, remains the only one who ever seems to notice the obvious. The evidence mounts. The conspiracies deepen. The cigars grow shorter. And somewhere in the background, a hedgehog waits.
