An urgent letter sends Hercule Poirot to France. By the time he arrives, his client is already dead.

Millionaire Paul Renauld has been found stabbed in the back and left face down in a shallow grave beside a golf course. His wife claims masked intruders abducted him during the night—but almost immediately, troubling inconsistencies begin to appear.

With Captain Hastings at his side, Poirot enters a case filled with secret relationships, suspicious alibis, hidden identities, and a crime from the past that may hold the key to the present. Complicating matters is Monsieur Giraud of the Paris Sûreté, a confident rival detective whose modern investigative methods clash sharply with Poirot’s belief in psychology, observation, and his famous “little grey cells.”

Then a second body is discovered.

As Hastings becomes romantically entangled with a mysterious young woman and the evidence points in increasingly contradictory directions, Poirot must separate carefully constructed deception from the truth before another life is lost.

First published in 1923, *The Murder on the Links* is Agatha Christie’s second Hercule Poirot novel—a clever, fast-moving mystery filled with rivalry, romance, buried secrets, and ingenious misdirection.
