Agatha Christie #2

Based on Agatha Christie's beloved mystery, this French-language adaptation of *Mort sur le Nil* opens with a sun-drenched Egyptian tableau — a distinguished gentleman in a white suit and pith helmet pauses with a drink in hand, the Nile's river traffic and the pyramids shimmering in the warm distance behind him. François Rivière and Solidor bring the golden atmosphere of Christie's exotic setting to vivid life on the cover, capturing that unmistakable sense of intrigue lurking beneath a languid afternoon. A fine 2002 addition to Emmanuel Proust's series for anyone who loves classic mystery transported into the bande dessinée form.
