Towards Zero
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: N/A
Pages: Good
Markings: Previous owner
A masterwork of classic detective fiction, Towards Zero chronicles the slow, inevitable convergence of a group of characters at Gull's Point, the seaside home of elderly Lady Tressilian, where a murder has been meticulously planned long before it is committed. Agatha Christie constructs her narrative around the bold premise that a crime story should begin not with the murder itself, but with the moment a killer's intent is born — a concept she argues through the very architecture of the plot. With her signature blend of psychological tension and razor-sharp misdirection, Christie illustrates how jealousy, greed, and old wounds can quietly gather force until they erupt in violence. Superintendent Battle, one of Christie's most methodical and underrated detectives, uncovers the truth by untangling a web of carefully staged evidence and deceptive appearances. The result is a suspenseful, intellectually satisfying puzzle that rewards attentive readers with one of the genre's most audacious and surprising solutions.
