Desde el asiento número nueve, Poirot está idealmente ubicado para observar a los demás pasajeros del avión. A su derecha se sienta una mujer joven, claramente enamorada del hombre de enfrente. Más adelante, en la butaca número trece, se encuentra una condesa con una pasión por la cocaína mal disimulada. Al otro lado del pasillo, en el asiento ocho, una abeja agresiva molesta a un escritor de novelas de detectives. Sin embargo, Poirot no se da cuenta de que, detrás suyo, en la segunda butaca, se halla el cuerpo sin vida de una mujer. «Será un lector muy agudo el que no se sorprenda al final.» The Times Literary Supplement «Muy pocos autores logran la combinación ideal de rompecabezas y entretenimientocomo lo hace Agatha Christie.» The Guardian

Miranda's sister, Kerri, has a new boyfriend. He's a raven-haired, handsome charmer who seems to dote on Kerri. But Brendan isn't the man he says he is. Miranda should know, because she broke off her own affair with him just a few weeks ago when she found him reading her diary. Now Brendan claims that it was he who ended their short-lived relationship—and everyone believes him. When he and Kerri announce their engagement, Miranda's parents are thrilled for their shyer, less confident daughter. Then Kerri and Brendan beg Miranda to let them live in her apartment until their new home is ready. Against her better judgment, Miranda agrees. Like a virus, Brendan starts spreading destruction throughout her life. He invades her privacy and disrupts her relationships with her family and friends. And then the real nightmare begins.… Like the obscenities he whispers into her ear, his onslaughts are as undetectable as they are devastating. Those closest to her begin to doubt her mental stability and accuse her of the very thing she believes drives Brendan: obsession. When Miranda decides to take off the gloves, fight back, and discover what is behind her enemy's bemused, secret smile, the consequences will be terrifying.
