[4] of cover.
Amaya Crale's passion for painting and women made him famous. His murder made him infamous. Sixteen years ago his jealous wife was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life for the notorious slaying. Now their daughter, Carla, a young woman convinced that her mother is innocent, has presented the brilliant Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot with an equally brilliant challenge: to clear her mother's name by returning to the scene of the murder and finding the fatal flaw in the perfect crime.
