It’s been a long time since there was any fresh news of Hercule Poirot. At least 34 years have passed since the Belgian detective – one the finest creations of Agatha Christie – was featured in any new story published in the US. But now the iconic crime solver with the black mustache is back.
Last week, The Strand magazine, in its 10th anniversary issue, published a “lost” story by Christie called “The Incident of the Dog’s Bell.” The story, which was the basis for Christie novel “The Dumb Witness,” was found in the home of Christie’s daughter after her death.
