A respected professor is found murdered inside the Royal Antiquarian Society — seated before a chessboard on which not a single piece has been moved.
Professor Zafar Qureshi had been investigating the disappearance of the priceless Vellanthorpe Codex, a medieval manuscript hiding a secret that has survived for decades. But when Hercule Poirot examines the strange crime scene, he begins to suspect that the missing manuscript, an untouched chessboard, a locked window, and a photograph taken moments after the body was discovered are all pieces of the same carefully constructed deception.
Then there is the professor’s closest friend — a brilliant cryptographer who appears to be slowly losing his mind.
Forgetfulness. Confusion. Strange behaviour. Meaningless mistakes.
But Poirot asks a far more dangerous question: what if the madness itself is part of the plan?
Set in the foggy streets, scholarly halls and quiet drawing rooms of London in 1934, The Madman’s Method is a classic Hercule Poirot mystery of buried reputations, coded secrets, friendship, betrayal, and one tiny discrepancy that threatens to expose everything.
Can you identify the clue Poirot notices before the truth is finally revealed?
Settle in, follow the clues carefully, and see if your little grey cells can solve the mystery before Poirot does.
