Agatha Christie
The world's cleverest crime author is brought to book in this new series of graphic adaptations of some of her most famous crimes. Will anyone survive the Ordeal by innocence ?
No one felt sorry when Jacko Argyle died in prison. Everyone knew he killed his mother with a blow to the head from an iron poker. But when a doctor turns up at the house two years afterwards with proof of Jacko's innocence, the whole family is horrified. Because it can mean only one thing - that their mother's killer is still among them...
Ordeal by Innocence was cited by Agatha Christie in her Autobiography as one of her favourite novels, a detective story which plays on the shock of an innocent man's conviction and its impact on his family. This adaptation is both modern and cinematic, and brings out all the mystery and tension of this classic whodunit.
