Agatha Christie - The Labors of Hercules (Anthology)

Description: "The Labors of Hercules" by Agatha Christie - Paperback - Published in 1974 by Dell (#4620 - 95¢ cover price) - 255 pages - Very good condition. Like The Labors of Hercules, the twelve cases Poirot must solve in this captivating collection of short crime fiction stories are dangerous, demanding, and positively ingenious. In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet—reasoned the detective—like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters. So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot makes up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed “Labors.” Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction. Contents: The Nemean Lion The Lernean Hydra The Arcadian Deer The Erymanthian Boar The Augean Stables The Stymphalean Birds The Cretan Bull The Horses of Diomedes The Girdle of Hyppolita The Flock of Geryon The Apples of Hesperides The Capture of Cerberus There is some minor edge wear and a very light reading crease along the spine (see the scan), but this book is still in very good condition. No collection of classic mysteries or Agatha Christie books is complete without this one. Please see the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my Agatha Christie books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 2-25-21 -- 4.6
