Agatha Christie was one of the greatest and most prolific thriller writers of all time. In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction; a series of events that sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey with the famous author missing. She was presumed dead by many but eleven days later, was found staying at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. The author claimed that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her…
Did she lie, or was it really amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret behind the disappearance that would affect her for the rest of her life? As in every good thriller, all will be revealed!
