Summary
Agatha Christie: The Man in a Brown Suit
After her father's death, young Anne Beddingfield comes to London with great expectations. She wants to replace the quiet and boring life in the country with the excitement of the big city. She didn't even expect to find them at the Hyde Park subway station. While waiting for the train, a man falls on the tracks and dies. A man dressed in a brown suit, claiming to be a doctor, pronounces the man dead and hurries away from the scene. However, a piece of paper with a cryptic message falls out of his pocket.
The police conclude that the death was an accident, but Anne does not think so. She hesitates whether it's a murder or a suicide?!
Lord Nasby, a newspaper magnate, hires Anne to investigate the whole thing. Armed with her adventurous spirit, insight and a piece of a mysterious message, she embarks on a search - which leads her from England to South Africa and which results in the discovery of missing diamonds and another murder, and as the mosaic of the whole puzzle takes on clearer contours, Anne's life becomes more and more endangered...
