The Man Who Died Twenty Years Ago | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

"The man who died twenty years ago was standing outside my house last night." When a terrified woman sends an anonymous letter to the celebrated detective Hercule Poirot, then dies under mysterious circumstances just days later, Poirot and his faithful companion Captain Hastings embark on a journey to the Swiss Alps. What they find in the isolated mountain villa of Sent is a web of secrets, a twenty-year-old disappearance, and a ghost who may not be a ghost at all. In this atmospheric, character-driven mystery, Poirot must unravel the truth behind Isabelle Voss's chilling final words. Was she losing her mind, as her physician claims? Or was someone deliberately terrorizing her—someone with everything to gain from her silence? Set against the haunting beauty of the Graubünden mountains in autumn, "The Shadow in the Alps" explores themes of grief, control, and the terrifying power of a past that refuses to stay buried.
