Story
They were married, but they hated and couldn't stand each other. Why not a divorce? Not that easy when there is a lot of money involved. Perhaps they could work things out on a trip to the Swiss Alps.

Story
Progenitore letterario di Hercule Poirot, Eugène Valmont è il protagonista di otto racconti. Ma se anche fosse comparso solo nella Compagnia dei distratti, sarebbe ugualmente un immortale. Così scrisse Ellery Queen a proposito di questa storia del 1906, che ha dato al protagonista e al suo creatore fama imperitura. E la cosa singolare è che lo scozzese Robert Barr è arrivato a tanto inventando un personaggio del tutto fuori linea con i geniali e infallibili investigatori alla Sherlock Holmes di moda ai suoi tempi.
