by Agatha Christie (Author) Enjoy Agatha Christie's beloved classic, Hallowe'en Party--the inspiration for the major motion picture A Haunting in Venice, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh--with a new introduction by Michael Green, screenwriter of the film. When a Halloween party turns deadly, it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer. At a Halloween party, Joyce--a surly thirteen-year-old--boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. Famed detective Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate. Set against a night of trickery and the occult, it's up to Poirot to uncover the real evil presence responsible for this ghastly deed. Number of Pages: 304 Dimensions: 1 x 6.6 x 4.2 IN

A handmade, original, limited edition linocut print of David Suchet in his classic role as Agatha Christie's iconic detective Hercule Poirot. Hercule is hand printed using black vegetable oil-based Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink on beautiful Zerkall 145gsm engraving paper. He is one of a limited edition run of only 60 prints, each of which is numbered, dated and signed in pencil by me. Since each print in the run bears a different edition number, the number of your print (e.g 5/60) may not be the one shown in the photographs. Every step in the process of making the linocut, from designing and drawing, to carving and printing, is done entirely by hand by me, and, as such, every print in the edition is absolutely unique and may vary ever so slightly from the illustration. This is not a flaw, but rather an inevitable outcome of the handmade process. All prints are dispatched within 3 working days in a board backed, protective cellophane sleeve, ready to frame or give as a gift. They are then carefully packed in a rigid mailer and dispatched via Canada Post. I offer free, standard, untracked shipping within North America and charge a nominal CA$5.00 fee for the rest of the world. Shipping upgrades are available. Image: 116x159mm (4.6x6.3") approx. Paper: 203x254mm (8x10") approx.

Florin Court, Charterhouse Square or better known by Agatha Christie aficionados (myself included) as Whitehaven Mansions- the London home of Christie's fictional Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. The building has featured regularly in the ITV series starring David Suchet who played the role of the mustachioed detective for 25 years. Situated on the eastern end of Charterhouse Square in Smithfield London, this Grade II listed building is instantly recognizable by its distinctive curved Art Deco brick facade. The building was completed in 1936 by the architectural firm Guy Morgan and Partners. This nine storey apartment block houses a total of 120 flats. In the summer of 2013, a flat on the first floor caught fire causing considerable damage. Renovations have since taken place, restoring the building back to it's former glory. My images are based on my own photographic work and carved into sheets of linoleum. Each piece is printed by hand without the aid of a press onto Japanese calligraphy paper. As these are handprinted, this results in subtle differences between each piece produced. The linocut image is approximately 100x150mm in size and provided with 10x8" picture mount. Frame not included. Printed in an edition of 25, each print one will be individually numbered (on the bottom left hand corner), signed and packaged with a backing sheet in a cellophane bag. All orders will be sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard and placed into a padded envelope to ensure that they are not bent whilst in the post.
