THE SÉANCE AT PONT STREET | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

London, 1934. The fog has come early, and with it, death. When Hercule Poirot receives an unusual invitation to attend a private séance, he arrives expecting the usual theatrical fraud of spiritualism. What he finds instead is a room full of secrets, a desperate medium, and a man who will be dead before the candles are relit. In a darkened drawing room on Pont Street, seven people join hands around a séance table. A bell rings in the darkness. The dead are summoned. And one man sits in silence, listening to something the rest cannot hear. When the lights come up, Sir Aldous Pemberton is dead—sitting perfectly upright, his hands folded, without a mark upon him. No one saw a thing. Almost no one. The victim knew too much. The killer had everything to lose. And somewhere in this elegant London house, a diary from twenty years ago holds the truth. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of 1934 London, The Séance at Pont Street is a classic murder mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie. Join Captain Arthur Hastings as he chronicles the investigation, and watch as Poirot's famous little grey cells untangle a web of greed, grief, and the terrible things people do when they believe the dead cannot tell on them. They can, of course. They always leave something behind. Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction created for entertainment purposes.
