"Hercule Poirot is enjoying a well-deserved holiday on Smugglers' Island off the coast of Devon until he finds himself caught up in a murder investigation. The beautiful bronzed body of glamorous actress Arlena Stuart lies facedown on the beach. But strangely, there is no sun and Arlena is not sunbathing. She's dead... strangles! Ever since Arlena's arrival the air had been thick with sexual tension. Each of the guests had a motive to kill her, including Arlena's new husband. But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent "crime of passion" conceals something much more evil." --From back of book
