Tommy & Pentlička

Táto séria sleduje osudy dvoch mladých dobrodruhov krátko po skončení vojny. Tommy, bývalý vojak, a Pentlička, zdravotná sestra, sa rozhodnú založiť vlastnú detektívnu agentúru. Hoci sú na začiatku svojej kariéry a postrádajú prostriedky, ich odhodlanie a odvaha ich dovedú k riešeniu neobyčajných prípadov. Od špionáže po záhadné úmrtia, dvojica sa s vervou vrhá do nebezpečných situácií, kde staví nielen na svoj dôvtip, ale aj na vzájomnú podporu.

    Tommy and Tuppence, two young people short of money and restless for excitement, embark on a daring business scheme - Young Adventurers Ltd. Their advertisement says they are 'willing to do anything, go anywhere'. But their first assignment, for the sinister Mr Whittington, plunges them into more danger than they ever imagined... Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots.

When Tommy and Tuppence visited an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they thought nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all, Ada was a very difficult old lady. But when Mrs Lockett mentioned a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs Lancaster talked about 'something behind the fireplace', Tommy and Tuppence found themselves caught up in an unexpected adventure involving possible black magic...

    A poisoning many years ago may not have been accidental after all... Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings. However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message:M a r y - J o r d a n - d i d - n o t - d i e - n a t u r a l l y...And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill...
