Hercule Poirot stood on the clifftop. Here, many years earlier, there had been a fatal accident. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two bodies-a husband and wife who had been shot dead. But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder? Poirot delves into the past and discovers that"old sins leave long shadows." Poirot agrees to help a friend investigate the 12-year-old case of Lord and Lady Ravenscroft, whose deaths were ruled a double suicide. All Poirot has to go on are the dim memories of an old woman, a doctor, and a teacher. This may turn out to be a mystery that even the great sleuth cannot unravel.
