Cat Among the Pigeons

In a palace in Ramat, a prince entrusts a fortune in jewels to his pilot, in the hope that he can smuggle them to England and keep them safe during Ramat's impending revolution. But before the jewels reach their destination, the prince and the pilot are both dead. British intelligence, and a host of others, seek to follow the trail of the jewels. Then a frightened girl brings Hercule Poirot one of the most challenging cases of his long and brilliant career: a killer is terrorizing a famous school for girls, and an unsuspecting student has become a magnet for evil and death. Somehow the two cases are linked - and only Poirot can solve this double mystery.
