They Came To Baghdad

For several years, Agatha Christie and her husband lived in Baghdad. Her keen observations there helped frame the setting for They Came to Baghdad, a story about Victoria Jones, an incurable romantic who meets a handsome man in the park with whom she becomes infatuated. She follows him to Baghdad, but when she arrives, her suitor isn't there, and mysteriously, a man running from the police stumbles into her hotel room where she hides him. Later, she finds him lying in a pool of blood. Listeners will sit on the edge of their seats trying to solve this mystery set in the dusty, chaotic backdrop of Iraq.
