The Pale Horse is the name of an organization whose business is murder. In the novel, a young historian-writer named Mark Easterbrook hears about the organization and attempts to uncover the people responsible for these murders. The story unfolds in bits and pieces: the murder of a parish priest, a list of names of people already dead or marked for death, a pub converted into a home for three unusual women, and a local fete to raise money to restore the church tower. Some characters from previous works appear in this book: Mrs. Ariadne Oliver makes an appearance, this time without Poirot; Rhoda and Major Despard from "Cards on the Table" provide the entry for Mark Easterbrook as he is Rhoda's cousin; and Rev. and Mrs. Dane Calthrop from "The Moving Finger" also appear.
