Intrigue abounds during WW2, following the theft of a vital piece of intelligence. Poirot is approached by the son of a very familiar friend, in the hopes of being able to solve the riddle of a secret gone missing, an unexpected corpse in a living room, and why four clocks all seem to be displaying the wrong time...
