About this ebook

In Agatha Christie’s classic crime adventure novel, They Came to Baghdad, a bright, young adventure seeker in the Middle East finds more excitement than she bargained for when a wounded spy expires in her hotel room.

A secret superpower summit is being held in Baghdad, but the word is out, and an underground organization in the Middle East is plotting to sabotage the talks.

Into this explosive situation appears Victoria Jones, a young woman with a yearning for adventure who gets more than she bargains for when a wounded spy dies in her hotel room.

The only man who can save the summit is dead. Can Victoria make sense of his dying words: Lucifer…Basrah…Lefarge. . . .

Ratings and reviews

One of the very best of A.C.'s stand alone thrillers. The pacing is nearly frenetic and the characters never are what they at first glance seem. Set aside some time, since you'll .be unable to stop reading!

It was a good book. I'm so used to Poirot and Marple I was half expecting one of them to pop up. But I truly enjoyed the book. :)

Love Dame Agatha... thought I had read them all but hadn't seen this one before.
