Agatha Christie è riconosciuta come autrice di straordinari gialli ambientati in fascinose dimore di campagna o in paesi lontani. Eppure molti dei suoi romanzi e racconti hanno come sfondo la città che per anni ha chiamato casa: Londra. Dall'appartamento di Poirot a Scotland Yard, dall'Old Bailey alle linee della metropolitana, la scrittrice conosceva e amava la capitale britannica e ne sfruttava le ricche opportunità narrative. Questa raccolta include dodici gialli londinesi con tutti gli amatissimi detective: Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Harley Quin, Parker Pyne e Ariadne Oliver.
