For it seems to Poirot that too many accidents have been happening to Nick and Poirot, with the help of Captain Hastings, is determined to prevent another accident becoming a tragedy. But even hiding Nick away in a nursing home does not prevent another attempt on Nick's life, and Poirot has to resort to subterfuge and cunning to solve this tricky case."

Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder misses her by inches. Safe in bed, she is almost crushed by a painting. Upon discovering a bullet hole in Nick's sun hat, Hercule Poirot (who had come to Cornwall for a simple holiday with his friend Captain Hastings) decides that the girl needs his protection.

A boulder crashed into the sea where she was swimming, missing her by inches. And then the brakes of her car failed. As Hercule Poirot, the famous detective, listened to her story he felt a chill of fear. Were these accidents or attempted murder? Then a hidden assassin fired at her. And Hercule Poirot knew that attempt No. 5 was sure to come. When it did, would he be ready so protect this lovely young woman? Poirot was faced with the most baffling puzzle of his career. Instead of solving a murder, the great detective had to unmask a killer before the murder could be committed."--BOOK COVER."@en
