Hercule Poirot, the dapper Belgian detective with a penchant for order and a mind like a finely tuned chronometer, faces his most formidable foe yet in Agatha Christie's The Big Four.

A cryptic warning throws Poirot and his loyal companion, Captain Hastings, into a whirlwind of international intrigue. Whispers of an assassination plot, a series of seemingly unrelated deaths, and a trail leading through the halls of power - all point to the Big Four's sinister agenda.
But who are these enigmatic figures?

- And the elusive "Destroyer," a ghost who leaves chaos in his wake, a figure shrouded in darkness whose true identity remains a mystery.
Poirot, fueled by his indomitable spirit and razor-sharp intellect, embarks on a globe-trotting chase. From the bustling streets of London to the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean, he unravels a web of lies, confronts hidden agendas, and faces mortal peril at every turn.
Can Poirot dismantle this empire of shadows before it plunges the world into darkness? Or will the Big Four, with their vast resources and ruthless tactics, prove too powerful to overcome?
