One of Agatha Christie's most famous works, 'And Then There Were None' narrates the story of ten strangers invited to a distant island under different pretenses. Methodically, they are killed off according to an old nursery rhyme. With no way to escape and no one else on the island, the survivors quickly realize that the murderer is among them.

The first edition will state 'First Published 1939' on the copyright page and the dust jacket will show the original price of 7s. 6d.
