Clarissa, the wife of a Foreign Office diplomat, is given to daydreaming. ‘Supposing I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library, what should I do?’ she muses. Clarissa has her chance to find out when she discovers a body in the drawing-room of her house in Kent. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband comes home with an important foreign politician, Clarissa persuades her three house guests to become accessories and accomplices. It seems that the murdered man was not unknown to certain members of the house party (but which ones?), and the search begins for the murderer and the motive, while at the same time trying to persuade a police inspector that there has been no murder at all. This novelisation by Charles Osborne is based on Agatha Christie's play, Spider's Web.

In the tradition of the bestselling "Black Coffee", author Charles Osborne adapts this Christie play into an intriguing novel set in South Wales. A stranded motorist stumbles upon a man slumped over dead in a wheelchair. His wife stands nearby with a smoking gun in her hand. Family secrets and chilling motives lie beneath the surface.

Zwarte koffie is een nieuwe Hercule Poirot-detective, gebaseerd op Agatha Christies succesvolle gelijknamige toneelstuk. In Zwarte koffie heeft Sir Claud Amory, vermaard atoomgeleerde, de formule voor een ongekend krachtig kernwapen ontdekt. Helaas wordt deze geheime en levensgevaarlijke formule door een van Sir Clauds huisgenoten op zijn grote landgoed gestolen. Als er daarbij nog een dode valt, is het maar goed dat meesterspeurder Hercule Poirot snel ter plaatse is...

Richard Strauss, born in 1864, was one of the 20th century's greatest and most prolific opera composers. His third opera, Salome, introduced the single-act structure, and the sensuality of the mujsic caused a furore. This was followed by the equally shocking Elektra, written in collaboration with Hugo von Hofmannsthal, but they completely changed direction for their next joint venture, Der Rosenkavalier, in which the Viennese waltz found its apotheosis. Once considered a revolutionary, Richard Strauss is today seen as the last of the German romantic composers, and most of his operas are still performed regularly throughout the world.
