      About This Book

      An Agatha Christie short story from the collection The Harlequin Tea Set and Other Stories.

      In the excruciating heat of the African sun, George Crozier is traveling with his new wife, Deidre. They have not been married long, and George is aware that his wife's thoughts are with her first husband, who was killed in this part of Africa during the War. In this hauntingly beautiful tale, Deidre is forced to confront the reality of her circumstances: "While the light lasts I shall remember, and in the darkness I shall not forget."
