Witness for the Prosecution

Christie Agatha, 2002

Newly-jacketed edition designed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Christies faultlessly plotted «Witness for the Prosecution» and other outstanding plays. The perfect complement to the latest edition of «The Mousetrap» and «Selected Plays» (50th Aniversary Edition). Headlining this book is «Witness for the Prosecution» — Christies highly successful stage play which won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for best foreign play. A stunning courtroom drama, it tells the story of a scheming wife testifying against her husband in a shocking murder trial. The wild beauty of a seaside house perched high on «The Devonshire River Tern» provides a stunning back-drop in «Towards Zero» — as a psychopathic murderer homes in on the unsuspecting victims.
