Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate a case for an insurance company regarding firstly a dead woman’s body found on a moor and then a important diamond sent to the company to be insured turns out to be a fake.

So it’s only a matter of time before Arlena turns up dead, strangled and Poirot must find out who it is…
