The classic collection of short stories by Agatha Christie, published in conjunction with a new BBC television adaptation of the most enduring and shocking thriller from the book, "The Witness for the Prosecution."

In 1920s London, a horrific and bloodthirsty murder has stained the luxurious carpets of a beautiful residence. The victim is the charming and exceptionally wealthy Emily French. All the evidence points to Leonard Vole, a young adventurer to whom the heiress left her vast fortune and who ruthlessly took her life. At least, that's the story put forth by Emily's devoted housekeeper, Janet Mackenzie, in court. However, Leonard insists that his companion, the mysterious dancer Romayne, can prove his innocence.
