Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 97 Summary

Two weeks later, the three detectives, along with Grey, eat at a Peruvian restaurant. Marple planned the dinner as “part celebration […] part peace offering” to Grey “for catching the kidnapping case on the sly” (304). Marple likes Grey and Grey’s effect on Poe, who seems uncharacteristically happy. After they eat their delicious meal, Marple toasts and invites the group to play a game.

Chapter 98 Summary

Grey is surprised when Marple suggests playing “Two Truths and a Lie” but plays along (306). Despite Grey’s best efforts at hiding her lie, Holmes easily determines the lie. Whey Grey is called away, the three private detectives are sorry to end their game so soon.

Chapter 99 Summary

Raymond, Grey’s ex-CIA contact, tells her not to put his report in writing. He has learned that 18 years prior, three deep-cover agents went missing in Afghanistan. Then, in 2001, three operatives from Moldova escaped a Ukrainian military prison. Though three bodies were recovered and quickly cremated, Raymond believes that these corpses were false. In both cases, the operatives were two men and a woman of similar age to Marple, Holmes, and Poe.

Under their current names, the three detectives have legitimate Social Security numbers; no genealogical records link the private investigators to Edgar Allan Poe, Agatha Christie, or Arthur Conan Doyle.
