The showering shapes arrange themselves, replacing Poirot with signs of his interbellum times: biplanes and speeding locomotives – Art Deco iconography in flight. As the book folds open, the formerly silhouetted Poirot emerges from the page, the bow-tied Belgian smiling from behind a puzzling cascade of geometry. A plumb-bob and the moon framed in white? What does it mean? The distinctive profile (and moustache) of Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot is soon added to the mix, helping viewers to crack the case of this sparsely adorned dust jacket. A blue fog dances underneath a curious collection of shapes.
