  <description><![CDATA[Old sins have long shadows.  Was the cause of death some long shadow from the past?  This was the question facing Hercule Poirot when he agreed to help his old friend, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver, delve into the deaths of Lord and Lady Ravenscroft, ruled a double suicide by the police twelve years before.  All that is left are dim traces: a terrifying tale told by an old woman, the shocking revelations of a Swiss schoolmistress, a doctor's strange diagnosis -- not really clues, merely hints.  Will this be one trail too cold for even the incomparable Hercule Poirot to follow?]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Crime novelist Ariadne Oliver again turns to Hercule Poirot, this time to solve a case the police consider closed. Oliver's interest in the murder-suicide of General and Lady Ravenscroft is more than academic: Celia Ravenscroft is her goddaughter. This is one of Poirot's most daunting cases - even he begins to doubt he can solve it - since the investigation relies on memories from years earlier.]]>

    <![CDATA[Old sins have long shadows.  Was the cause of death some long shadow from the past?  This was the question facing Hercule Poirot when he agreed to help his old friend, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver, delve into the deaths of Lord and Lady Ravenscroft, ruled a double suicide by the police twelve years before.  All that is left are dim traces: a terrifying tale told by an old woman, the shocking revelations of a Swiss schoolmistress, a doctor's strange diagnosis -- not really clues, merely hints.  Will this be one trail too cold for even the incomparable Hercule Poirot to follow?]]>

    <![CDATA[Old sins have long shadows.  Was the cause of death some long shadow from the past?  This was the question facing Hercule Poirot when he agreed to help his old friend, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver, delve into the deaths of Lord and Lady Ravenscroft, ruled a double suicide by the police twelve years before.  All that is left are dim traces: a terrifying tale told by an old woman, the shocking revelations of a Swiss schoolmistress, a doctor's strange diagnosis -- not really clues, merely hints.  Will this be one trail too cold for even the incomparable Hercule Poirot to follow?]]>

    <![CDATA[Crime novelist Ariadne Oliver again turns to Hercule Poirot, this time to solve a case the police consider closed. Oliver's interest in the murder-suicide of General and Lady Ravenscroft is more than academic: Celia Ravenscroft is her goddaughter. This is one of Poirot's most daunting cases - even he begins to doubt he can solve it - since the investigation relies on memories from years earlier.]]>
