- Poirot’s secretary, Miss Lemon, introduces a most unusual case to her employer. Miss Lemon’s sister is the matron of a student hostel where an odd assortment of objects have gone missing–everything from a stethoscope to bath salts. It appears to be the work of a kleptomaniac, yet there’s a deeper atmosphere of unease around the hostel, and a feeling that something more sinister is hiding behind the petty thefts.
