Tuppence of course adroitly outwits these attempts to exclude her and joins Tommy in Leahampton where they both attempt to track down N and M, but at the same time both under assumed names and definitely not married. Tuppence is to be kept in ignorance of this venture. The previous agent on their trail is dead, run down by a lorry. When Tuppence is called out to assist a friend Mr Grant tells Tommy that in fact what he is offering is a spy job hunting down some Fifth Columnist Nazi spies known as N and M. Their twin offspring Derek and Deborah are of course younger and are in the Air Force and nursing respectively.Ī Mr Grant turns up at the Beresford flat to offer Tommy a clerical job in the wilds of Scotland. Tommy and Tuppence are being told they are too old for active war service. Published in 1941, the novel is one of two which Christie worked on simultaneously during the Second World War whilst living alone in London. The only clue to the traitors’ identities is a government agent's dying words that lead them to the Sans Souci boarding house, where it’ll take some extremely subtle detection work to establish which of the guests are the treacherous N and M. These unlikely Intelligence Service spies decide to help Queen and country by tracking down two ruthless traitors. ![]() ![]() This atmospheric story, set during World War Two, finds Tommy and Tuppence doing what they do best – having an adventure. ![]() Publisher: HarperCollins Masterpiece ed edition (October 14, 2010). ![]()
