Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days

In December 1926, Agatha Christie vanished mysteriously from her home in England. She was found eleven days later in a hotel, claiming amnesia. Until now, no one knew what happened during the first twenty-four hours of her disappearance or if her amnesia was genuine. Christie never recovered from the press' scrutiny, and the private anguish ensured that she made no reference to it in her own memoirs. This paperback edition of Jared Cade's riveting book has the answers, with startling accounts by her relatives that reveal why she staged the disappearance and how it went terribly wrong. The kind of extended footnote that might well delight, with its attention to detail and Cade's analysis of how Christie wove bits of her own story into her subsequent fictions.""-The Baltimore Sun. ""Cade is quite convincing in his new biography.""-The Christian Science Monitor.
